STAYING HEALTHY WHILE
TRAVELING ABROAD
General Information
Will you be one of the 2 mil
lion Americans traveling to
Europe or Asia this year?
Everyone who applies for an
American passport Is auto
matically given a small yellow
booklet labeled "International
Certificate of Vaccination."
You should take this docu
ment to your family doctor at
least three months before your
scheduled de
parture ? it
may take that
long for some
immunizations
to attain their
full effective
ness, and you
should be fully
protected be
fore leaving.
The doctor.
?????*?* ? after adminis
Dr. Amberson tering the ap
propriate injections, will record
them inside your booklet.
Then the booklet must be given
a stamp of approval by your
local or state health officer.
Guard the stamped certificate
carefully; you'll need it to re
enter the United States and to
be admitted to certain coun
tries abroad.
Which shots your doctor ad
ministers will of course de
pend on where you're going.
Some shots are demanded by
law, either American or foreign
or both. Others are recom
mended by the U.S. Public
Health Service, whose speci
fic and detailed publication,
"Immunization Information for
International Travel," is on
file at your local passport
office.
To get your copy, send 35
cents to the Superintendent of
Documents. Government Print
ing Office, Washington 25, D C.,
and ask for PHS Publications
No. 384.
Aside from getting your im
munizations, there are other (
precautions to follow to safe- i
guard your health while travel
ing abroad.
? Well in advance of your
scheduled departure, have a
thorough dental examination,
and if trouble is detected, get
it fixed. Nothing spoils a trip
like a toothache.
? Have your doctor give you
a physical checkup and write
a summary of your present
state of health and pertinent
facts about your medical his
tory in the spaee provided for
this information in your "In
ternational Certificate of Vac
cination."
? If you wear glasses take
along a spare pair.
? Especially outside of ma
jor foreign cities, avoid raw
fruit and vegetables, and make
sure all your milk is pasteur
ized. Use only bottled water,
both for drinking and brush
ing your teeth and for making
ice cubes, until you've checked
on the local supply.
? Pack a traveler's health
kit. Here are my suggestions
for the kit: First, include pre
scription medications taken
for chronic conditions. Then:
aspirin, cough syrtip, foot pow
der, an eye lotion for minor
eye inflammations, adhesive
bandages and a germicide, an
oral solution for relieving
minor sore throat pain, pre
ferrably a fast acting anesthe
tic, one like Chloraseptic, and a
medication for upset stomachs,
nausea and diarrhea, Pepto
Bismol, for example.
If young children accompany
you, I also suggest inclusion of
a rectal thermometer in your
traveler's kit.
