Immunization against polio, tetanus and typhoid
is recommended. Visitors arriving from yellow fever area require valid
vaccination certificates. Malaria is endemic in certain parts of India;
consult a doctor for anti-malaria prescription. Additionally carry any
anti-mosquito cream or lotion for local application. Modern hospitals exist
in all major cites of India but visitors are advised to travel with
sufficient quantities of prescription drugs.
Insurance Information
While travel insurance was formerly looked upon as a luxury, consumers concerned
about whether their vacations can be canceled by incidents outside their control,
or worried about the quality of medical care in the area they are visiting,
now view travel insurance as a good value. Generally, a comprehensive travel
insurance policy costs 5 to 7 percent of the price of your trip.
A travel insurance policy usually offers two coverages: trip cancellation/interruption
and emergency medical evacuation. Reimbursements for lost baggage or trip delays
are nice if they come bundled with trip cancellation/interruption or emergency
medical evacuation.
Each month, Global Financial & Insurance Resources reviews and recommends
the best sources for free Travel Insurance information, news, articles, tips
and tools.
