What you don’t know can hurt you!

Thousands of travelers become ill each year and many of them are children. Common travel diseases like malaria, typhoid fever and hepatitis are preventable if you plan ahead. Additionally, travel needs, health issues and risks for children are different than adults. Some medications, dosages and vaccines commonly recommended for travel may not be appropriate for children or teenagers.
