In addition to injection centers, doctors in many private clinics also provide vaccination services for those in need.

Vaccination is not foolproof. Diarrhea is the most common disease when going out. Therefore, doctors specially remind China people to drink boiled water or bottled water and try to avoid raw or cold food. Ice cubes, ice cream, food from street food stalls and unsterilized milk sold in places with poor sewage drainage system can be left untouched.

In addition to vaccination, doctors also advise people traveling abroad to carry a small medicine box for storing important drugs with them so that they can come in handy when necessary.

The drugs you must carry are as follows:

Medicinal cloth, gauze, scissors, disinfection and antibacterial ointment for use when cutting or rubbing skin.

Stretch bandages can be used when spraining.

A thermometer for measuring body temperature.

suntan oil

Pain-relieving tablets can be used for headache, fever and traditional Chinese medicine.

An antacid.

A pill for treating diarrhea and mild constipation caused by food changes.

A decongestant for colds.

Antipruritic drugs

Drugs to prevent motion sickness/seasickness.

The doctor pointed out that what medicine to take depends on where to travel and what kind of activities to engage in. Business travelers and adventure travelers who go abroad for business and stay in hotels will definitely bring different medicines.
