Why a Travel Health Consultation Matters
Different destinations carry different health risks. A travel health consultation helps you understand:
- Which vaccines are required for entry (some countries require yellow fever proof)
- Which vaccines are recommended based on your destination and activities
- Whether you need malaria prophylaxis
- Food and water safety
- Altitude sickness prevention
- What to do if you get sick abroad
Common Travel Vaccines We Offer

- Typhoid — needed for travel to many parts of Asia, Africa, Latin America

When to Start
Ideally, schedule your travel health visit 4–6 weeks before departure. Some vaccines require multiple doses spaced weeks apart, and your immune system needs time to respond. That said, even last-minute protection is better than none — don't skip the visit just because your trip is close.
