What to Expect During your Visit
During the Visit
If you have not printed and completed the Screening Questionnaire (see Preparing for your Visit), the receptionist will ask you to do so upon check-in.
Once complete, the travel nurse will meet with you in the consultation area to discuss the details of your trip, including exact cities and dates, your medical history and your current health status. With the use of a travel disease database, the nurse will inform you of required and recommended immunizations.
Many patients will be able to receive immunizations or prescriptions for preventive medicine during their first visit. Some patients may need to schedule additional visits to complete their care.
The travel nurse will also inform you of general travel health guidelines, such as food, water, and insect precautions. Particular health risks and disease outbreaks for the region you are traveling to will also be discussed. Please ask any questions you may have about your travel health safety.
