Travel Health Consultation

Before your international adventure, make sure you're fully prepared for your Travel Health Consultation. Follow these steps to ensure a smooth and effective visit:

• Schedule Early: Book your appointment six to eight weeks before your departure. This allows enough time to receive any necessary vaccines and for immunity to develop before your trip.
• Bring Your Itinerary: Include details such as travel dates, regions of the countries you'll visit, expected accommodations, and scheduled airport layovers. This information helps assess potential health risks specific to your journey.
• Gather Your Medical Records: Bring a list of your current medications and any vaccination records that aren’t already part of your medical record at Medical Associates.

During your consultation, our travel medicine specialist will:

• Review and Update Your Health History: Including allergies, medications, and prior immunizations.
• Discuss Your Travel Plans: Review your itinerary, planned activities, and potential health risks.
• Administer Vaccinations: Provide necessary vaccinations and certificates for specific countries.
• Prescribe Medications: Tailored to your destination, such as for malaria or traveler’s diarrhea.
• Provide Medical Advice: On food and water safety, insect-borne diseases, altitude sickness, and more.
• Share Health Updates: On current epidemics, environmental risks, and destination-specific information.
• Recommend Health-Related Items to Pack: Essential items based on your travel plans.
• Address Your Concerns: Answer any questions you have about staying healthy while traveling.
