Before You Go

There are a few things you can do before you even leave home to help ensure a healthy and comfortable trip.

• Get a checkup. This is a good way to make sure you're healthy enough to travel and that you don't have any underlying health conditions that could be exacerbated by travel.
• Get vaccinated. Depending on where you're traveling, you may need to get vaccinated against certain diseases. Your doctor can help you determine which vaccinations are necessary.
• Pack a first-aid kit. This should include basic supplies like bandages, antiseptic, and pain relievers.
• Bring along a supply of your regular medications. If you take any prescription medications, be sure to bring enough to last you for your entire trip.
• Get travel insurance. This can help cover the costs of medical expenses, lost luggage, and other unexpected events.

During Your Trip

Once you're on your trip, there are a few things you can do to stay healthy and comfortable.
