Why is "Health Ready" So Important?

Imagine falling ill on your holiday with a preventable disease, or worse, bringing something unwelcome home with you. Travel vaccinations are your first line of defence against a range of infectious diseases that are more prevalent in other parts of the world. These can include:

• Hepatitis A: Often contracted through contaminated food or water.
• Typhoid: A bacterial infection spread via contaminated food and water.
• Yellow Fever: Required for entry into some countries, this viral disease is spread by mosquitoes.
• Diphtheria, Tetanus, Polio: Boosters for these routine immunisations might be necessary.
• Rabies: Particularly important if you plan on interacting with animals in certain regions.
• Japanese Encephalitis: A serious viral brain infection found in parts of Asia.
• Cholera: A bacterial infection causing severe diarrhoea, often a concern in areas with poor sanitation.

The specific vaccinations and advice you need will depend on several factors:

• Your Destination(s): Different countries and even different regions within countries have varying health risks.
• Your Itinerary: Are you staying in resorts, backpacking, visiting rural areas, or engaging in adventure sports?
• Your Medical History: Any pre-existing conditions or medications can influence recommendations.
• Duration of Your Stay: Longer trips often require more comprehensive protection.
