Vaccinations

when you have decided for vocations or a travel destination, you can visit a travel clinic to find out what vaccines are mandatory or recommended for your destination.

Be sure that you and your children are vaccinated against potentially major  illnesses and that your vaccines are up to date. Now a several common vaccines can be administered in a single injection.

You can go through the following Health Canada Web site for a list of travel health clinics across Canada.

Be aware: Being vaccinated should not preclude being careful. Take measures to avoid bacteria, insect bites, and contact with indigenous animals. Be sure you are well equipped with insect repellent, closed shoes, a long-sleeved shirt, pants, and  a mosquito net, etc.

Expectant Mothers

Expectant Mothers should always consult their doctor while you are going to travel. Your doctor will verify your state of health and advise you what to do or what to not do or what kind of  foods to avoid if you are traveling outside of Canada.

The most major airlines allow a pregnant women as passengers until the 36th week of a normal pregnancy, and most of the travel insurance contracts will only cover pregnancy up to the 31st week inclusively.

First Aid Kit

Always carry a first-aid kit with you to treat minor injuries when needed.

Your first aid kit should include these basic items: bandages, antiseptic, compresses, scissors, adhesive tape, cotton, antibiotic ointment and a sling.

One thing you should keep in mind that  if you have a pair of scissors or even a metal nail file in your carry-on luggage, it will be confiscated at customs. So place your first-aid kit in your checked baggage, which will be stored in the airplane baggage compartment.
