Travel medicine. Be prepared
Description
Travel abroad and even within the U.S. poses special health risks. In this program, Bradley Connor, of the International Society of Travel Medicine; Phyllis Kozarsky, of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; and others offer advice on protection from illness while traveling. Suggested pre-trip preparations include determining destination-specific health risks, obtaining requisite vaccinations, making a travel health kit, and creating a medical safety net at the destination, in case illness should strike. Information on venous thromboembolism, a risk factor of air travel, and health tips specifically for trips to developing countries are included.
