The Three Ps Of Traveling: Be Proactive & Prepared

Whenever you visit a new place, always remember the three Ps to ensure you will have a safe and healthy vacation: be proactive, be prepared, and be protected! Steps taken to be proactive is by anticipating any issues that could arise during your trip, such as researching your destination, visiting a doctor for a health checkup and vaccination update, and considering your health status before traveling. For instance, ask yourself these simple questions: Am I too sick to travel due to recent illnesses, injuries, or surgeries? Do I have any special health needs such as small children, a pregnancy, disabilities, or a weakened immune system to worry about?

Being prepared is essential when traveling to a foreign destination, as no one wants to think about getting sick or injured during your visit. But these things happen. You may not be able to prevent every issue that arises. However, you can plan ahead and be able to deal with these problems through practices such as packing smart and with all your health essentials - including medications needed - knowing what to do if you become sick or injured, and sharing important information about your health while vacationingwith your doctorwhen you return home.
