Hello, my name is Terrell Ashby. I'm a nurse.
What happens at a travel health visit?
A travel health visit is an appointment to plan for health needs on an upcoming trip. It often starts with questions about destinations, activities and health history.
The clinician reviews your vaccine records and compares them with the vaccines advised for your destinations. Some vaccines may be given at the visit, and some countries require proof of certain ones for entry. The talk often covers food and water safety, insect bites and medicines for the trip.
Call the office if you have questions about your visit or your care. This is general information, not personal instructions. Your travel clinician can tell you what applies to your own trip.
Thanks for watching.
