The vacation season can be any time of year. And for some, the idea of vacation may be to travel somewhere extremely cold for some snow sports, or maybe somewhere hot, with the sudden urge to shed winter layers, become sun-kissed, and relax with colorful foods and cocktails in the world's most exotic locales, As enticing as all this may be, it's important to remember that smart travel involves more than just packing, flying, and relaxing. The purpose of this knowledge-based program will be to offer some healthy tips for travelers. As the local pharmacist, you can help advise your customers or patients about staying healthy and safe while visiting unknown places. I will speak as though you are the one planning the trip, and hopefully you can recall the information to pass on to those who you serve while at work.
