Here’s how to keep your vacation medically uneventful.

Happy & Healthy Holidays!

It’s summer, a prime time for getting away. But even a minor health problem can spoil a vacation. And a major one – well, that can cause regret about ever leaving home.

Of course, there are no guarantees, but taking a few precautions can improve the odds for the medically uneventful vacation. International travellers should visit the country’s official health websites for information about vaccinations and disease outbreaks.

To get some practical, health-related vacation tips, here are a few suggestions:

Mind your feet

Especially if it’s a sightseeing or hiking vacation, you’re going to be spending more time on your feet than you do at home. Plain old sore feet, blisters, and more serious conditions like plantar fasciitis are hazards. Good, sensible shoes are the first line of defense (rubber soles are often recommended). Moleskin and small BandAids can keep blisters from hobbling you completely. Leave those old, worn-out socks at home; some new pairs can reduce the friction that causes blisters and provide some extra padding.

Don’t mess with your meds
