Planning family vacations with kids? Pediatrician Isabela Pires advises updating vaccines, packing a kit, hydration, safety, and sun protection for safe trips.
Vacation season brings travel plans, but kids need extra prep. They react strongly to temperature, routine, and food shifts.
Isabela Pires, Afya Brasília pediatrics professor, shares key precautions for before, during, and after travel.
6 Essential Tips
1. Update vaccines: Check the card, especially yellow fever for risk areas. Plan ahead to prevent issues.
