If you’re planning a trip with dad this summer, or surprising him with one, here’s something worth adding to the list: a pre-travel health consultation.
It doesn’t have to be dramatic travel to matter. A cruise, a trip to Europe, a family vacation in Central America, a visit to relatives overseas, any international travel carries destination-specific health considerations that are worth getting right before departure. Vaccines. Malaria prevention. Food and water safety. Travel medications. The things that turn a great trip into a complicated one when they’re overlooked.
Dads, in particular, tend to skip this step. They book the flights, pack the bags, and figure the rest will sort itself out. Sometimes it does. Sometimes it doesn’t, and a preventable illness ends up defining the trip. Moms and Kids: It usually ends up on your plate to plan for a safe and healthy trip.
At Destinations Travel Clinic in Orléans, a pre-travel consultation takes about 30 minutes and covers everything specific to where you’re going. One appointment for the whole family means everyone leaves prepared — and nobody spends the trip managing something that could have been avoided.
Give dad a great trip. Give him the consultation first.
