International Travel Health Visit
Travel Health Visit
The travel health visit is an individual session with an experienced travel nurse that includes:
- Review of your travel itinerary and health history
- Assessment of communicable disease risks during your trip
- Recommendations for vaccines and travel medications
- Complimentary copy of The AITC Handbook - 20 pages of our collected wisdom on staying safe and healthy while traveling, with information on insect bite protection, altitude illness, water purification, avoiding and managing travelers' diarrhea, and much more.
Appointments are required for international travelers. There is a fee for the travel health visit, which covers the review, assessment, recommendations, and prescription(s). Vaccines are priced individually. See prices.
