Get Vaccinated When Vacationing Abroad

It’s summer! Time for a long awaited vacation! Almost always when we travel outside the country, it’s recommended to get vaccinated. Depending on where your destination is, you may need multiple immunizations. It’s important to be aware of your health and safety risks. By following the tips below your trip, you’re keeping you and your family safe.

Health and safety tips for your vacation

1. Research your destination for any new and important health risks you should be aware of.
2. Visit your provider or a clinician who specializes in travel medicine to get information on any advice, medicines, and vaccines that you will need before leaving. Ensure that you are up to date on routine immunizations, like measles, mumps, and rubella, varicella, or seasonal flu vaccine.
3. Prepare and bring a travel kit designated for health care. Include your prescriptions, general over-the-counter medications, first aid supplies, and your insurance card.
4. Prepare for the unexpected events. Don’t forget a copy of your medical records. The document will include your recent vaccinations for the trip and past medical history. In case of an emergency, you will be able to share your medical information with the health care team abroad.

How to get our medical records

There are a few ways you can get your medical records. You can ask for them at the clinic. But this method would require you to fill out various forms to release and obtain a copy. Many times the location of where the medical record is printed or sent from is not located at the clinic. If the records are mailed, they can get delayed or lost. A lot of times, the process required by providers and clinics are extensive based on their own policies. Another way to get access and copies of your medical record is through Order Medical Records.
