Before Traveling

ž Consult your doctor in advance. Before traveling in China, you may need to consult your doctor for health advice or a thorough check up if you have not had one recently. This is very important for all but particularly for those with a history of coronary or pulmonary problems. Your doctor may provide your some useful health information about China and the vaccines (Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Rabies, Typhoid fever, Japanese B encephalitis) you need to take. It is recommended to see your doctor 3-4 weeks before your departure because some vaccines need a certain time to take effect.

ž In China, people from a yellow fever area are required to show proof of yellow fever vaccination. For those who plan to travel between countries, this must be taken in consideration when you travel from a yellow fever area and then plan to enter China.

ž Bring along a copy of your medical record. A good medical record should mention all the medicines you are taking, the medical treatments you have received or are receiving, your chronic ailments, allergies or hypersensitivities, immunization history, blood type, eyeglass prescription, health insurance (the companys name, address and phone number) and so on. You should also have your doctors name, address, and phone number in case it is needed. Carry these documents in a place that is both secure and accessible by you at all times while traveling.

ž For those who take special medicine on a regular basis, make sure that you carry an adequate supply. Carry them in the original containers to identify them as legally obtained drugs and pack them in your carry-on bag. Bringing some useful medicines is also a wise precaution, such as those for colds, diarrhea and constipation.
