The reservations are made, your bags are packed and your passport is ready to go.  But are you physically prepared to embark on your overseas trip?

Many travelers dismiss the idea of immunizations and other precautions, especially if their plans do not include traveling to a "developing" region such as Africa or southern Asia.

Facts show that European and Central American countries considered to be "safe" by American standards fall victim to serious health issues not found in the United States.  For example, one county in the United Kingdom recently reported a meningitis outbreak and many foreign countries regularly report cases of polio, malaria, yellow fever, diptheria and typhoid.

Failing to recognize and protect yourself from potential travel health risks can do more than just ruin your trip.....it can put your health in serious jeopardy.
