The UK government has recently released a health checklist for British citizens planning to go on summer vacations.

The UK Health Security Agency has provided a list of dos and don’ts for staying healthy while traveling this summer. It includes advice on avoiding diseases, taking necessary vaccines, and maintaining a safe diet. While it’s important to be prepared, it’s also worth noting that most people return from their trips in good health.

Look up the local health risks before you go

Before traveling, it is important to check for any specific health risks and recommended vaccinations. The TravelHealthPro website and the foreign travel advice on GOV.UK provide country-specific information on these matters.

Check if you need vaccines

Before traveling, it is important to check your vaccination record to ensure that you have the necessary vaccinations. Some countries may have specific vaccine requirements or entry restrictions. Stay updated on your vaccinations to avoid travel complications.

Before traveling, it is recommended to consult your local travel health clinic or GP surgery to determine the vaccinations you may require. It is especially important to schedule an earlier appointment if you have pre-existing health conditions, even if you do not need vaccinations or malaria tablets.
