🏝️ Looking for Winter Sun? Stay Healthy While You Travel
Escape the Cold — But Don’t Forget Your Health
As the days grow shorter and the UK gets chillier, many travellers start planning their escape to warmer destinations. Whether you’re heading to Thailand, the Caribbean, or Africa, a winter-sun holiday is the perfect way to recharge.
But while you’re packing sunscreen and swimwear, it’s easy to forget one crucial item — your travel health. Many sunny destinations carry risks of mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, and yellow fever.
That’s why travel vaccinations and pre-travel consultations are essential before you go.
Why Vaccinations Matter for Winter Sun Holidays
Diseases that are rare in the UK can be common in tropical and subtropical destinations. A simple mosquito bite can transmit illnesses that ruin your trip — or worse.
Vaccines offer powerful protection, reducing your risk and ensuring you can enjoy your travels worry-free. Depending on your destination, your travel-health professional might recommend protection against:
- Hepatitis A & B
- Typhoid
- Yellow Fever
- Rabies
- Japanese Encephalitis
- Malaria prophylaxis (preventative tablets)
Top Travel Health Tips for Sunny Destinations
Even if you’re vaccinated, taking precautions can further reduce your risk. Before you travel, make sure to:
- Book your travel-health appointment early – ideally 6–8 weeks before you fly.
- Use insect repellent with DEET or picaridin to keep mosquitoes away.
- Wear long sleeves and trousers in the evenings when mosquitoes are most active.
- Sleep under a mosquito net if your accommodation isn’t well-screened.
- Stay hydrated and protect yourself from the sun to prevent heatstroke and dehydration.
