Many families in Central Texas take to the skies in November and December to visit family and friends abroad for the winter break.

Adults are often interested in protecting children from diseases encountered in other countries, but according to Danielle Fryer, RN and Clinical Manager of ADC’s Travel Clinic, adults may need protection too, even if they were raised in the country they are visiting.

Now is the time to talk with our Travel Clinic staff about precautions you can take to protect yourself. Plan to visit the Travel Clinic 4 to 6 weeks before your trip, but if you forget, there are still benefits from coming in the day before you travel, too.

Make an appointment by calling 512-901-4486.
