UPMC Physician: Safe Travel Takes A Little Preparation Rutul Dalal, MD Infectious Diseases, UPMC

While we’re still in a worldwide pandemic, there are many signs that the world is starting to return to a sense of what life was like before COVID-19. Many states and countries are lifting quarantine and mask mandates as well as modifying travel restrictions. Shops, restaurants, and other places of business are working toward full capacity and there seems to be interest among people to get out and enjoy a vacation or travel to see family members they haven’t seen in over a year. According to the Transportation Security Administration, the number of passengers that have crossed airport security has more than doubled since this past January. Even though many of us may feel comfortable out in the world again, it is important to stay diligent, take care of your health while traveling, and be mindful of others.

Planning Your Trip

A little bit of planning before your next trip will go a long way to ensuring your safety. Schedule an appointment with your doctor for a checkup at least four weeks before you travel. This is the prime chance to address any existing health concerns that might take away from the experience of your trip. Also, it would be a good time to learn about the status of your health to make sure you stay well after you have already left for your journey. It’s also a great time to bring up questions related to the area you plan to travel – are there certain viruses prevalent, can we drink the water there, and what’s the pandemic look like in the region.

The following list is the information recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC) to share with your primary care provider during this visit:

• Special conditions such as pregnancy, allergies, or chronic health problems.

• Destinations on your itinerary.

• Type of accommodations (hotels, hostels, short-term rentals).

• Type of travel (cruise, business, adventure travel).

• Timing and length of your trip.

• Planned activities.

During your predeparture visit with your health care provider, it would also be a good idea to bring up any of your prescribed medications. You can discuss any issues that you might be having with the medication and ensure that you will have more than enough doses while you are away.

In addition to your over-the-counter medicine, consider packing a few extra health items. The items you bring may be dependent upon where you are traveling, but a few suggestions are your health insurance card, proof of vaccinations, a small first aid kit, hand sanitizer, insect repellent, or sunscreen.

Immunizations for Your Trip

Depending on your travel plan, your provider may suggest certain vaccinations. These vaccinations may even be required by the local government where you’re traveling. Some examples of common travel vaccinations include: 

• Hepatitis A

• Hepatitis B

• Typhoid and paratyphoid fever

• Meningococcal disease

• Yellow fever 

It’s also recommended that you be up to date with routine vaccines, or those that you might think of as the childhood vaccines that you get before starting school such as the annual flu shot and Tdap.

Pandemic Considerations

Whether you are traveling or not, the COVID-19 vaccination is strongly recommended. If you are fully vaccinated and traveling domestically, it is advised that you still mask up in heavily populated areas, such as planes, buses, or other forms of public transportation. Afterward, you should monitor yourself for any COVID-19 symptoms and get tested if they develop. The same advice should be followed if you are traveling internationally, however you should certainly get tested once you arrive back to the United States.

If you are unvaccinated and traveling domestically, consider the previous recommendations and additionally get tested before and after you go on your trip, avoid people that have higher risk of severe illness, and quarantine for seven full days after travel. You should not travel internationally if you have not been vaccinated for COVID-19. If you must, follow the recommendations for travel that are located on the CDC’s website.

Do Your Homework

We’re in uncharted territory as our cities and countries start to open back up for travel. When planning your next trip, start with an appointment with your primary care provider. Then, do your homework and remain flexible. Keep in mind that restrictions can change rapidly depending on local conditions. It's also important to keep in mind the COVID-19 situation, such as the level of spread and presence of variants, varies in each country. Check back for updates as your trip gets closer. Save yourself unpleasant surprises and delays by checking for restrictions at your destination and anywhere you might stop along the way.

John “Toby” William Shea

Well played, Toby.

John “Toby” William Shea, 87, of Warren, Pa., died on Friday, July 23rd, 2021, peacefully in his home surrounded by family. 

He was born in Clarendon, Pennsylvania on Friday, March 2nd, 1934, to William Shea and Eleanor Wycoff Shea. Toby graduated from Warren Area High School in 1953 and was offered a football scholarship to the Pennsylvania State University where he attended for one academic year. After leaving Penn State, Toby enlisted in the United States Army, serving two years during the Korean War. During this time, he was stationed in Marysville, California and El Paso, Texas. Upon leaving the Army, he enrolled at Lock Haven State College where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Health Education. 

Following graduation from Lock Haven, Toby accepted a teaching and coaching position at Johnsonburg High School. After settling in the teaching profession, Toby went back to school at Indiana University, Bloomington where he obtained his Masters of Science in Health and Safety in 1965. Toby left Johnsonburg to accept a teaching and coaching position at Youngsville High School in 1963. During his time at Youngsville High School, Toby led the Eagles to back-to-back undefeated seasons in 1965 and 1966. While coaching at Youngsville, Toby met the love of his life, Susan Orbanic and they were married July 15th, 1967.

Following this successful era at Youngsville, Shea accepted the position to coach the Warren Dragons Football team in 1967. Toby coached the Dragons until 1984, compiling a record of 117-55-3. The highlight of his coaching career came in 1976 when the Dragons went undefeated and finished fourth in the Commonwealth. In addition to coaching football, Toby coached softball and track during his time at Warren High School. His teaching and coaching profession concluded when he retired from the Warren County School District in 1993. He along with all of his football coaches, were instrumental and founding members of the Warren Sports Boosters. In his retirement, Toby served two terms on the Warren County Board of School Directors from 1997 until 2005. In 1999, Toby was inducted into the Pennsylvania Scholastic Football Coaches Association Hall of Fame. 

Toby was an avid outdoorsman, a lifetime member of the Kalbfus Club, and loved raising his hunting dogs.

“As we continue to recover from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we know that a priority area of support is mental health and wellness services, said CRCF Executive Director Karen Niemic Buchheit. “The isolation related to shut downs and safety protocols have created difficulty for those seeking these services and resources, making this grant process all the more important.

Nonprofit agencies with questions about the grant application process are encouraged to contact CRCF at 716-301-2723 or foundation@cattfoundation.org

Former members of the dissolved Mental Health Association of Cattaraugus County established the fund to financially support programs and activities that promote mental wellness in Cattaraugus County.

Since the fund was established in 2018, it has made possible just short of $8,000 in grants for programming and services that support the mental wellness of Cattaraugus County citizens.

Donations can be made to the Mental Wellness in Cattaraugus County Fund at CRCF, 301 North Union Street, Suite 203, Olean, NY 14760 or online at cattfoundation.org.
