Traveling with a bleeding disorder, such as hemophilia, can be stressful and challenging knowing that a bleed can happen at any time. Plan ahead to help manage bleeding episodes and medical emergencies that occur while away from home.
Before You Leave for a Trip
- Talk to your doctor about your travel plans to make sure you are in healthy condition to travel.
- Ask your doctor if there are any recommended vaccinations based on your travel plans. Vaccinations, such as hepatitis A and B vaccines, are highly recommended for people with bleeding disorders.
