What is a travel consult and do I really need one? A travel consult means seeing a physician before you travel to be sure you are currently healthy, prepared to take care of any chronic conditions you may have, and most importantly to get updated on your vaccinations. Depending on where you are traveling, malaria prevention medication is also prescribed at a travel consultation. In general, you really should seek a travel consult if you are traveling outside the US, Canada and Western Europe. Ideally, a travel consultation should be done at least 1 month and not more than 3 months before your planned trip. How do I know what vaccines I need so I can be prepared for how much my travel consult is going to cost? The CDC website is the gold standard for vaccination recommendations. You can read through the recommendations for the area you are traveling to and see which vaccinations you need to get. You can check our price list and see the costs of each vaccine BEFORE you come in. Remember each vaccine has a $15 administration charge and be prepared to hang around the office 20 minutes after receiving you vaccines so we can make sure you do not have an adverse reaction. |
