What Is Travel Medicine and Why Do You Need It?
Travel medicine is a specialized area of preventive healthcare focused on preparing patients for international travel. It includes vaccinations, disease prevention, and travel-specific health advice based on your itinerary.
Many destinations outside the U.S. pose risks such as yellow fever, typhoid, malaria, dengue, hepatitis, traveler’s diarrhea, and more. Some countries even require proof of specific immunizations for entry. A travel medicine consultation ensures you meet those requirements while reducing your risk of illness overseas.
