quantity.

the INAC a special authorization for the transport of the syringe and the
medicine to be injected as cabin luggage, by presenting a medical certificate
to prove that the passenger needs the medicine, as well as mentioning the
flight number, date, airline, destination and passenger identification.
4.
Should I take any vaccine?
- Do not dispense a consultation of the traveler for proper medical
screening.
5.
Pregnant: Can I travel?
- It is not advisable for pregnant women to travel to destinations where
it is necessary to take vaccines against dangerous diseases such as yellow
fever. Some diseases are much more dangerous for a pregnant woman (and increase
the risk of death at birth) such as malaria. As a rule, airlines allow the
transport of pregnant women up to 36 weeks. In addition, medical authorization
is required.
6.
During the trip, how should I proceed?
- When traveling long distances, the human body takes some time (usually
three days) to adjust to the new time zone. You may experience fatigue,
disorientation, insomnia, anxiety, lack of concentration, and loss of appetite.
The direction in which you travel is decisive. Traveling east causes
more changes than traveling west. This happens because when traveling to the
West you are increasing the duration of the
"day"; conversely, if you travel to East this "day"
shrinks.
We recommend:
- Sleep and eat at a time close to your destination time zone before you
leave.
- Rest well before the trip and avoid last minute worries.
- For very long flights (especially to East) try to make a stopover
while traveling.
- Drink lots of water, try exercising and avoid drinking alcohol.
- Wear light clothing, a mask, and earplugs for better sleep.
