The Pre-Travel Consultation: What Makes Us Different
Your medical history, health, and trip are reviewed with you. You learn about the travel risks of your destination and the required and recommended immunizations. If you have any health conditions, needs, or concerns that require a vaccination or medication protocol different than the standard protocol, we will work with you to make adjustments. You receive a written report about the current health risks of your destination.
Preventative Medicines
Some diseases are prevented by vaccination. For others, like malaria and denque fever, no vaccines exist. Fortunately, preventative medicines for some of these, such as malaria, are available and can be taken orally while traveling. Medications for common travel illnesses, like traveler's diarrhea, are also available.
