This viral infection occurs in some tropical and subtropical regions of the world, predominantly transmitted through the bite of an infected Aedes mosquito.

The Chikungunya vaccine is recommended for long term travellers, adventure tourists and travellers visiting friends and family to or living in areas where Chikungunya is prevalent, especially in parts South and Central America, the Caribbean, and Asia. 

Bite avoidance, especially between dusk and dawn, can help reduce the risk of getting Chikungunya.

As you embark on your adventures, it's vital to prioritize safety. Don't forget to visit a travel clinic before your trip to ensure you have all necessary vaccinations and medications. Stay safe on your travels by being prepared and taking necessary precautions. Being proactive about health can make all the difference.
