Preparing for Your Trip: Vaccination Tips
Getting vaccinated is an essential step toward protecting yourself from potential diseases while travelling, but what happens next? After getting your travel vaccines at Ranchlands Pharmacy, there are a few important measures you should take to make sure you are fully prepared for your trip.
- Know Your Vaccine Schedule
Some travel vaccines require several shots or time to be fully effective. Before you travel, ask the pharmacists at Ranchlands Pharmacy if you need any medications. Also, get vaccinated at least 2-4 weeks before your travel to take action and your body to develop protection.
- Monitor for Side Effects
Low side effects from vaccines are common, including a low temperature. If you suffer serious or long-term side effects, contact your pharmacist or healthcare professional at Ranchlands Pharmacy. The staff are available to answer issues and provide advice on how to manage any vaccination problems.
- Keep Your Vaccination Records
When travelling abroad, some nations may require confirmation of vaccinations, Ranchlands Pharmacy will supply you with certified documents for your travel vaccinations once you have received them. Keep these records with your travel documents to avoid problems throughout your journey. It’s also a good idea to create copies or take pictures of your vaccination records for safety.
- Maintain healthy habits while travelling
Even with vaccine protection, maintaining healthy habits when travelling helps to lower the chance of disease. Ranchlands Pharmacy may also recommend travel health items like hand sanitisers, prescription medicines, and travel health kits to help you stay prepared on your trip.
