No one wants to be sick far from home, and dealing with unexpected health challenges can be stressful. One of the best ways you can mitigate certain health-related risks is to be prepared for potential exposure.

Please remember it is your responsibility to investigate the health status in your destination country. Appropriate preparation for travel may include, for instance, vaccinations, medications, and related supplies.
