Stay Healthy on Vacation

As the holidays end and the New Year begins many people from our area take tropical vacations. Before you go make sure to check in with the local travel clinic (625-5903) to find out about immunizations and prophylactic medications you might need.

Be sure to carry travel health insurance, and if you have Internet connections check out IAMAT for detailed information about health risks and recommended precautions for the area you are traveling to. This will also provide you with names and addresses of doctors in the country you will be traveling to in the event that you need them.
