π§³ Before You Go: Winter Travel Prep π§³
π Whether you're planning a quick long weekend getaway, visiting family or escaping to a warmer destination, a little travel prep can go a long way toward keeping your trip healthy and stress-free. π
Before travelling, it's recommended to chat with your personal pharmacist ππ»ββοΈ 4-6 weeks before your trip to help answer important questions like:
π Are vaccines required for your destination?
π Is malaria prevention needed?
π Do you need medication for traveller's diarrhea?
β Are there any other itinerary-specific precautions to consider?
It's also a smart ideaπ‘to pack a travel first-aid kit βοΈ with essentials such as:
π©Ή Adhesive bandages
π Alcohol-based hand sanitizer
π«§ Antiseptic wound cleanser
π€ Gauze and adhesive tape
π§· Safety pins and scissors
βοΈ Tweezers
β¨οΈ Hot and cold packs
