  • Pre-Travel Vaccinations: Protect Your Overseas Adventure

    02:25|
    Pre-travel vaccinations: A crucial aspect of planning your overseas adventure As Australians prepare for international trips, its essential to prioritize pre-travel vaccinations, especially for those visiting friends and relatives abroad. These travelers often face higher risks due to longer stays, rural exploration, local food and water consumption, and closer contact with the local population. Vaccines play a vital role in maintaining your health during travel, with some being routine and others specific to your destinations risks. Measles, a highly contagious virus, is a significant concern, with outbreaks occurring globally. Ensuring two doses of the measles vaccine is crucial, and Australia offers an extra, free dose for infants due to their higher risk of severe illness. Other important vaccinations include the flu shot, hepatitis A, typhoid, and rabies. Consulting your general practitioner or a travel doctor will help determine the right vaccines for your trip, based on your destinations, activities, and overall health. While some vaccines may incur a cost, they are a small investment compared to the overall expense of your trip and significantly reduce the chance of your holiday being disrupted by illness.
