What you need to know before travelling on Eid Holidays
- Immunization: Visit the child's pediatrician at least a month before you travel and check with the doctor on the necessary vaccines required for the travel. Do ensure that there is no allergy reaction to the vaccines. The common ones are Hepatitis, Polio and Chicken Pox.
- The Centers for Disease Control recommends the following Immunizations while travelling in places with huge crowds:
- Typhoid– A common foodborne illness.
- Polio–highly recommended
- Meningitis– Recommended and required for some visitors
- Hepatitis A– Another foodborne illness common to the region.
- Routine Vaccinations– These include the MMR and flu vaccines, which are very important to have.
- Others may be recommended based on your personal health history
- Medical Kit: Your travel bag should definitely include a medical kit. Being away from home and your usual routine could make you susceptible to catching an infection. Therefore, ensure that you carry the basic medicines with you.
- Choose your hotels carefully: Ensure that you do a thorough research before finalizing your hotel and look for a property that has clean surroundings.
- Keep it short: Don’t overdo your days while on a holiday with kids. Keep it light. Don’t plan to visit too many attractions or do too many activities in a day as that might be very tiring for the kids.
- Last Minute Travel: Even if it’s a last minute travel plan, do visit the doctor or at the very least carry the basic medication with you.
- Stay Hydrated: Dehydration can happen quickly while you are travelling due to weather, hectic schedule, or even due to erratic eating routine. Therefore, stay well hydrated and try to eat all the meals on time. Avoid too much intake of coffee or tea and don’t over indulge in spicy or oily/unhealthy foods.
- Adequate Sleep: Ensure your 8-10 hours of sleep so that you are fresh and active while you are travelling. This will help boost your immune system and ward off potential diseases.
- Be insured: Wherever you travel, it is wise to be insured. This assures that you are taken care of in a foreign land, especially in case of a medical emergency. By following these simple tips, you can ensure a healthy and a happy vacation with your loved ones.
