Travel vaccination

Before you go abroad for a holiday, check if the country requires certain vaccinations.
Also get your doctor's advice if you have any illness prior to departure.
When visiting any other country, sufficient medical insurance is strongly recommended.
You should check with your travel agent on the amount of insurance you will need and include enough cover for the extra cost of travelling home in an emergency.
