It’s the season for some fun in the sun, with many taking breaks and heading out the road to forge new adventures. It is also a good time to get proactive about health, by taking measures to protect the whole family from preventable diseases by getting your vaccinations.

Traveling means exposure to different people and environments. Going on the road and heading out to crowded places like the beach or even hanging out at the malls to enjoy the cool air-conditioning may expose the family to communicable diseases such as Flu or Chickenpox. Trying out the local cuisine with all the tempting native delicacies is an integral part of the joy of traveling, but it can be also be a cause for contracting Hepatitis A and B, especially in roadside places when adhering to strict sanitation procedures can be a problem. Exotic tropical destinations are great places to leave behind the stress of the city living, but there is the ever-present danger of Dengue Fever from mosquitoes that love to breed in warm climates.
