Traveling During Flu Season: How to Stay Healthy on the Road

If you are lucky enough to be travelling to a warm place and getting out of the UK this winter, don’t make the mistake of travelling without protection from illnesses and diseases that are common in many underdeveloped countries. When most people think of travel vaccinations, the flu vaccination doesn’t usually come to mind. However, just like in the United Kingdom, the flu is highly contagious and is very common in most countries all over the world.

If you are visiting a particular area during its flu season you will be at risk of getting the flu just like the local residents. Your risk of catching the flu will increase if you are surrounded by large groups of people at events, while travelling, or in big cities.
