Travel Health Advice From A Pharmacist Who Loves to Travel.
Dose & Destination explores the side of travel that doesn’t always make it into the guidebook, like vaccines and medications, long flights, and the health surprises that can turn a great trip into a stressful one.
Travel guides can tell you where to eat and what to see but Dose & Destination looks at the other side of the journey: your health and the preparations that can make a difference once you’re on your way!
