Physicians Health Center is your Travel Medicine Specialist, Helping Travelers Remain Healthy While Traveling Abroad
Traveling internationally is exciting. Whether your trip is for vacation, adventure, or another purpose, with all the other details you have to manage before taking off, don’t let potential healthcare risks abroad ground you. With Physicians Health Center’s Travel Safe Program, you’ll get a pre-travel consultation with destination-specific vaccines, prescriptions, and the latest travel health notices.
What to Expect During Your Travel Healthy Program
Consultation
Traveling to certain countries or regions can increase your chances of contracting illnesses or diseases rarely found in the United States. During your visit, our medical professional will:
Our medical provider will review and discuss with the traveler the Travel Medicine Questionnaire.
Our medical provider will discuss recommended or required vaccines as well as any recommended medications with the traveler. The recommendations are personalized to the traveler based on the specific region or countries the traveler will be visiting and what they will be doing while abroad. PHC providers use the most up-to-date travel health information and guidelines available from the CDC and WHO.
Our provider can then administer the required and/or recommended vaccines that the traveler has elected. Our provider can also write a prescription for the recommended medications to be picked up at the traveler’s designated pharmacy.
After completing our PHC Travel Healthy Program, travelers can be assured that they've minimized their health risks while overseas, received appropriate vaccinations, secured necessary medications, and are thoroughly informed.
The Sooner the Better When Traveling Abroad
It’s important to try and visit our center well in advance of your travel. While we can see you at
any point up to your date of travel, some vaccines may take up to 4-6 weeks before reaching
maximum protection while other vaccines require more than one dose. By visiting us in advance,
you can maximize your protection.
