Did You Know?

According to the CDC, health problems have been reported in as much as 22%–64% of travelers to developing countries.

Why is a post-travel consultation important?

A post-travel consultation with your travel physician is essential, especially if you spent at least 3 months in a rural area or a developing country, if you might be experiencing symptoms of malaria, or if you were treated or admitted to a hospital for an illness during your travels.

While most of these conditions upon return are mild, up to 8% of travelers are ill enough to seek care. Some patients do not experience symptoms of any illness until they arrive back at home. Though many post-travel infections become obvious soon after arrival, the incubation periods vary and some diseases can present themselves months or even years after initial infection.

Traveler’s Immunization Center is able to provide insight and advice for those seeking a checkup to make sure they are clear of infection and disease.

Who should prioritize scheduling a post-travel consultation?

Aside from those who wish to ensure that they are clear of any medical condition related to their trip, it is especially important for travelers to see a physician should they meet any of the following conditions:

  1. They are “at risk” for health issues due to the nature of their travel, such as those living abroad for more than 3 months, frequent travelers, returning expatriates, and etc.
  2. They believe they may have been exposed to health risks that may lead to problems later in life or possibly transmissible to others around them.
  3. They had been ill or treated for a sickness abroad and now want reassurance that they have fully recovered. This is very important for those who have had dengue, as re-exposure comes with much more severe effects.

Testimonials

I have been coming here for years now. I travel often and come to the Traveler’s Immunization Center routinely for consultations both before and after my trips. They are a kind and swift team!

Very pleasant and fast experience!

Traveler’s Immunization Center is especially great at accommodating last minute appointments. The nurse stayed late and went out of her way to make sure I was prepared for my trip. I am definitely coming back here!

I would recommend Traveler’s Immunization Center to anyone especially in n need of a last minute immunizations, consultation, and medication prescriptions.

Everyone here is polite and happy to help with any questions you may have. They gave me all of the information needed for my trip and answered all of my questions (and I ask a lot of questions!).

Before visiting the Traveler’s Immunization Center I was quite nervous for my trip to Africa, however after my consultation I felt a lot more at ease. I am prepared for my trip, with all of the medical information and prescriptions. They even sell supplements and creams which was a very nice addition!

I had an awesome experience at the Traveler’s Immunization Center! The staff here are very friendly, efficient & informative. Dr. Kapoor was very helpful and gave me some great tips and advice on traveling abroad. I highly recommend this clinic for any travel vaccine inquires. I got exactly what I needed for my upcoming travels!
