So when parents considering travel say "Let's take the kids withus," they need to realize that travelling out of country can present different health risks for their children, especially if they are .planning to visit a lesser -developed country. An important point to consider is their child's routine vaccinations. Diseases such as measles, which are not very common in Canada, are still a major cause of death in lesser -developed countries. It is extremely important that, parents ' make sure that their children are up to date on their publicly funded vaccinations before they travel. - Parents - must also understand that diseases such as typhoid, yellow fever and malaria, which are not found in Canada, can spread to travellers. If these diseases are present in the areas they plan to visit, parents need : to . make _ sure that their children receive the necessary vaccination or .medication to protect against these diseases. For infants, some travel vaccinations and medications cannot be given to children under a certain age. Travel vacci- nation/medications are not publicly funded. Public Health offers a free travel package con- taining health and safety information on your trav- el destination. Please request your travel package at least two months before the date you plan to travel to allow time for vaccination scheduling. If you have any questions about, what vaccination and/or medicine your children might need, contact your health care provider or the Grey Bruce Health Unit at 519-376-9420 or 1-800-263-3456 or visit the website at www.publichealthgreybruce.on.ca. orrectio Heather8�rger and Cheryl Wallis are seen here born .born left to right presenting Christina i.ammerant, the band teacher at LCPS, with a donation of $230 to put towards band instruments.
