Travel Information Sources
Information about health safety while traveling is available on numerous Web sites. Although these sites are an excellent source of information, it is important to remember that the risk of contracting disease may vary from urban to rural destinations, or by seasons within a country. To be fully prepared for your trip, it is best to equip yourself with a customized health care plan. A personalized report of required and recommended immunizations (as well as other useful safety information about your specific destination) is created for you by our travel medicine experts during your visit. Our experts utilize an excellent, weekly-updated database of information about your travel destination(s) when creating your personalized health care plan.
To learn more before your visit, you may want to familiarize yourself with the following sites:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is the federal agency responsible for protecting the health of Americans at home and overseas. On their Travel Health web site, you will find the most recent recommendations for immunizations by regions of the world.
