National travel health campaign

Ticket to Health, a national travel health campaign, has been launched by the Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA) and the Primary Care Virology Group. The aim of the campaign is to encourage travellers to visit their doctor or local travel clinic at least eight weeks before travelling, in order to obtain advice on appropriate preventive measures to protect their health both abroad and when returning home. As part of the campaign, ABTA has produced an information leaflet, "Ticket to Health, your guide to safer holidays". The leaflet includes information on everyday health risks abroad and what to do before travelling, while away and on return. The leaflet will be available from ABTA (68-71 Newman Street, London W1P 4AH) and ABTA travel agents.
