Travelling abroad is an exciting experience but with so many things to see and do, the basics like health and safety are often taken for granted. The most common problems are sunburn, diarrhoea, mosquito bites, accidents and sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

Be prepared

Your Boots pharmacist can advise you on which vaccines you may need, and whether it is recommended that you take malaria prevention medication.

Travel kit

We can help you prepare a travel kit of essentials including painkillers, antiseptic, insect repellent and anti-diarrhoea tablets, and advice on protection against the sun.

Travelling with children

Children need extra protection from conditions such as sunburn, travel sickness and food poisoning, but adults can also suffer.

Speak to your Boots Pharmacy team for more details.
