Add Flu Concern to Your Travel Plans

Week of August 23, 2010

The World Health Organization is reporting that the H1N1 flu virus is still a global problem. It is important to think about how the seasonal and H1N1 flu may affect your vacation and travel plans. Many people associate the flu with cold weather. But, in some regions, it is active throughout the year. Traveling to areas where seasonal and H1N1 flu activity is higher than in the U.S. can put vacationers at risk. TRICARE covers certain vaccines for the seasonal and H1N1 flu for all beneficiaries. For more information about the seasonal and H1N1 flu, visit the TRICARE Flu Resources webpage or the TRICARE Novel Influenza A (H1N1) webpage.
