Travel Medicine
No matter where in the world your employees travel to do business, you’ll want to make sure they’re in good health. To do that, you need a partner who understands the medical complexities of international travel. The global medical landscape is constantly changing. That’s why we maintain up-to-the-minute information about global vaccination requirements and disease outbreaks — to ensure that you and your employees are never caught off guard. Trust us to update you on travel safety and security, provide routine and critical immunizations, and dispense prescriptions before and after travel. You can also depend on our support should an employee become sick as a result of an international business trip - we'll come up with a treatment plan to return them to good health and their work as soon as possible. Information for Employees What to expect during your travel medicine consultation: You will be asked to fill out a form about your travel plans, as well as your previous immunizations and health history. Please bring a copy of any immunizations you have had in the past, so we can better decide what you need. Your consultation with a doctor or physician assistant will take place in an exam room, after a medical assistant has taken your blood pressure and asked you about your basic health history. Yellow Fever is the only immunization that is absolutely required to enter some countries. We can help you decide which of the other recommended, but not required, immunizations would be important for you. Malaria prevention is essential in many parts of the world, and we will prescribe the appropriate anti-malarial pill depending upon the recommendations for the part of the world you will be visiting. Many people experience travelers' diarrhea on trips to other countries, so we will prescribe an antibiotic for you to take on your trip in the event you get diarrhea. Check to see if you need any of your routine medicines refilled before your visit - we can write prescriptions for your daily prescription medicines, if needed. We recommend you come in at least two weeks before your planned departure to give the vaccines time to become effective. Of course, if your travel plans are unexpected, we’re here every day to provide last-minute shots or prescriptions.  The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention provides up-to-the-minute information for travelers.
