Advice for Travelers

As summer holidays approach, many people will be making travel plans. I would like to highlight the significance of pre-travel advice to ensure safe travel. Who Needs Pre-Travel Advice? Travelers with multiple comorbid conditions should undergo a careful risk assessment before traveling. Travelers from countries with high Human Development Index (HDI) scores (e.g., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, and Western Europe) typically do not require specific travel advice. However, routine immunizations and health screenings should be current. Travelers heading to other regions should seek pre-travel advice to minimize health risks.
