When going on an exotic trip, in order to prevent safety measures in another country, it is necessary to make a preliminary vaccination to increase immunity.
It is even difficult to imagine how many terrible and unknown diseases there are in exotic countries, it is not only fever, plague, malaria, cholera, but also such as brugiasis, anostomosis, clonorchiasis, schistosomiasis, leishmaniasis, necatoriasis, strongyloidiasis and many others. Some vaccinations are best done six months before the trip: cultivation of immunity, adaptation to antibodies may take some time.
Often, tourist vaccination services are already included in the price of the trip. This is how travel companies take care of the health of each of their clients. Vaccination of children before travel is especially important.
Sometimes medications may have contraindications due to individual intolerance or a certain disease, including in children. In this case, it is better to even postpone the trip or choose a less dangerous type of vacation.
When purchasing a package, check with your tour operator if the vaccination fee is included. Often, travel agencies are more knowledgeable in these matters and will definitely not forget one that you may not even notice.
But in any case, whether you have been vaccinated or not, there are a few simple but important rules of personal hygiene to follow.
- in no case drink tap water or open sources (streams, rivers, lakes, fountains, waterfalls).
- try to drink water only from sealed bottles of well-known manufacturers, bought in large supermarkets.
- be sure to wash your hands thoroughly before eating and after using the toilet.
- it is better not to buy food from hands and in bazaars and not to eat in suspicious cafes.
- be sure to wash fruits and vegetables (if possible, it is better to clean them).
