Travel medicine is important because it helps protect travelers from illnesses that may not be common in their home country but are prevalent in other parts of the world. Certain areas may have higher risks of diseases such as malaria, yellow fever, typhoid, or dengue fever. Travel medicine prepares you with vaccinations, health recommendations, and advice to prevent exposure to these diseases and manage any health concerns during your trip.

What to Expect During a Travel Medicine Appointment

During a travel medicine consultation, we will assess your specific travel plans and health history, including:

• Destination Assessment: Discussing your travel destination(s) and identifying any health risks specific to the region.
• Vaccination Recommendations: Administering necessary vaccines to protect against diseases like hepatitis A and B, typhoid, yellow fever, and others.
• Malaria Prevention: Providing advice and prescriptions for malaria prevention if traveling to regions where the disease is prevalent.
• Travel Health Advice: Offering tips on food and water safety, insect protection, and other precautionary measures to reduce health risks.
• Emergency Care Information: Giving guidance on what to do in case of illness or injury while traveling, including local healthcare resources and emergency contacts.
