What You Need to Know for Holiday Travel This Season
What do doctors think of holiday travel?
“The safest way to travel is to be fully vaccinated,” says infectious disease expert Amesh A. Adalja, M.D., a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security. “The rest is up to your individual risk tolerance.” If you’re planning to eat in a public space, like an airplane, it’s a good idea to try to staggering the time you’ll eat around those around you, says Thomas Russo, M.D., professor and chief of infectious disease at the University at Buffalo in New York. “When they deliver meals on planes, people have their masks down,” he points out. “Keep your mask up, wait until everyone eats, and then eat.
Dr. Schaffner suggests being mindful of what you’ll do once you arrive at your destination, too. “If you’re meeting with family, do advance telephone calls or emails with relatives to make sure everyone five and over is vaccinated and that everyone who is eligible for a booster has received it,” he says. If you’ll have immunocompromised people with you, he recommends doing rapid tests on the day of your gathering as an added layer of protection.
