JAKARTA - Year-end holidays are a long-awaited moment because they can spend a lot of time with family. Many parents will invite their children to vacation somewhere at the end of the year.

However, before taking the child on vacation, there are several things that parents have to prepare for their children so that the trip goes smoothly. The following is the list, submitted by the Internal Medicine Specialist & Travel Health Expert Eka Hospital BSD, dr. Rudy Kurniawan, Sp.PD, MM, MARS, Dip.TH, Dip.SN, DCD, FRSPH.

The first thing is to ensure that your child is in good health before the holidays. Doctor Rudy also suggested completing the child's vaccine so that his body is more fully maintained during holidays.

First, make sure the child is healthy first. If you are still a child, complete the necessary vaccines, "said Doctor Rudy, when met in the Serpong area, Tangerang, on November 12, 2024.

Vacation destinations must be determined by parents from a long time ago. This is done so that parents can understand the place well, so they can take precautions first if there is a certain disease outbreak.

"Secondly, we have to know where the purpose of traveling is and where is the condition of certain diseases. For example, there are many more flu outbreaks there, yes we have to recommend (children) to wear masks, wash their hands, prevent them in general," he explained.

Before the holidays, parents must also teach their children restrictions on things they can do and not during holidays. This must be done because any risks can occur when on vacation, so they must be vigilant from the start.

"If for a special trip like going to the sea or going to the mountains, you have to make sure there is a danger of sinking, there is always a risk, so be aware. That must be informed of the limits," concluded Doctor Rudy.
