Planning a trip abroad this summer? Don’t forget to check travel health advice and vaccinations before you go 🌍
Different countries can have different health risks, and some destinations may recommend or require vaccinations before travel 💉
Depending on where you’re travelling, you may need protection against illnesses such as hepatitis A, typhoid or yellow fever. It’s best to check as early as possible before your trip so you have enough time to arrange any vaccinations you may need 👍
Your pharmacist may also be able to provide travel health advice, vaccinations and support to help you stay well while you’re away ✈️
If you’re holidaying in the UK, it’s still important to stay safe in the summer sun and look after your health ☀️
Helpful tips include:
• wearing sunscreen and staying hydrated
• packing enough prescription medication
• carrying a basic first aid kit
• checking local weather and travel updates
• remembering insect bite protection if spending time outdoors 🦟
A little preparation can help make your holiday safer and more enjoyable for everyone 💙
