    1- Prepare a complete travel itinerary, listing each destination, length of stay, and types of activities planned.

    2- Contact your travel agent to obtain local health information, including food and beverage precautions, information regarding insects and other pests, and the availability of emergency medical care.

    3- Check with your insurance company to determine what coverage your policy provides for travel abroad.

    4- Contact your physician for an up-to-date immunization record and make an appointment to receive necessary vaccinations at least six weeks before you plan to leave.

    5- Obtain specific information on preventive health recommendations based on your itinerary by contacting the CDC's Travel Information Web site.

    6- Eat foods that are steaming hot and well-cooked, as these are usually the safest.

    7- Avoid eating foods from street vendors, no matter how appetizing they look.

    8- Avoid unpasteurized dairy products and raw or uncooked seafood.

    9- Peel fruits yourself.

    10- Drink commercially bottled water or carbonated beverages.

    11- Avoid ice.

    12- Use bottled water when brushing your teeth.

    It's important to take care pf health while traveling. Get in touch with your doctor for an up-to-date immunization history and make an consultation to get necessary vaccines at least six several weeks before you plan to keep. Acquire particular details on precautinary health suggestions depending on your schedule by getting in touch with the CDC's Journey Information Website.
