Holiday health advice and useful links

If you have booked a holiday rental from DaltonsHolidays.com outside the UK consideration should be given to the health regulations and health facilities for your chosen destination. The reason being is that you need to be aware of any necessary vaccinations and visitor health requirements of your chosen destination. Also it is always useful to know how to obtain medical treatment when visiting a country abroad. As the saying goes “it is better to be safe than sorry”.
The Department of Health publish worldwide country by country disease and immunisation checklists which enable you to make sure you get your vaccinations up to date before you travel. Links to these lists together with a wide selection of topics on how to have a healthy holiday are available on the Department of Health web site.
