Travel Health

Up to 60% of travelers to the developing world experience travel-related health problems.

Travel-related injuries and illnesses have an impact in lost productivity costs in general. Many travel-related diseases and illnesses can be prevented by vaccines or medications, while others can be self-treated by the traveler equipped with antibiotics and other medications. As an employer, this means increased employee productivity, decreased medical and extended-stay costs, and decreased lost work-time.

Whenever a business trip takes you or your employees to a foreign destination, we are here to provide required and recommended travel vaccinations, medications to prevent or self-treat travel-related illnesses, and customized health and safety information.

Our goal is for employees to be safe and healthy while traveling abroad. While vaccinations protect the employee from specific diseases, there are also a variety of common illnesses that can be spread as a result of traveling to another country. 

Your travel health physician may recommend antibiotics, antidiarrheal medicine, decongestants, mild laxatives, and more. Travel medicine can help prevent these illnesses, or treat them if necessary.

For Employees

Travel Vaccination

Be sure your employees make an appointment four to six weeks prior to their departure date.
 
Many travel vaccines require multiple doses and specific lengths of time to reach maximum protection.

The following, with the exception of malaria, are all vaccine-preventable diseases around the world.
 
Malaria can be prevented by taking prescribed medication.
 
We may recommend vaccines and medications based on your detailed itinerary and which regions of the country you will be visiting.

Those traveling abroad should ensure that their routine vaccinations are up-to-date, including those for tetanus, measles, mumps, and rubella, varicella, influenza and pertussis.
