Travel Vaccinations

Healthy Trust Immediate Care specializes in the prevention of travel-related and vaccine-preventable illnesses. Our mission is to help you stay healthy while traveling abroad through individualized consultation with experienced travel medicine experts. Individual pre-travel care and consultation services minimize the risk of commonly encountered health problems that may occur during international travel.

Customized health care plans, education, immunizations and medication recommendations are tailored to your itinerary or medical needs. In addition, we provide consultations and medical referrals if illnesses arise after you return home, giving you the peace of mind that accompanies comprehensive care. For the non-traveler, we offer routine immunizations and tuberculosis screening.

Traveling to Asia, Africa, Central or South America or the Caribbean? Your trip can bring you so much excitement and adventure. But unfortunately, it can also put you at risk for hepatitis A & hepatitis B.

Relax. There's no need to worry or cancel your plans. Hepatitis A & hepatitis B are two vaccine-preventable diseases that you could encounter while traveling. By reading up on the facts, you'll be savvier about the diseases, as well as ways to protect against them.

Be sure to consult with Healthy Trust Immediate Medical Care or the CDC at least 4 to 6 weeks before you travel, to find out which hepatitis vaccines are recommended or required for the country to which you are traveling as well as other medications that can help prevent travel-related illness, and specific activities that might pose health risks while traveling.

Consider the need to protect yourself against other travel-related diseases that can also be prevented through immunization.

• Varicella
• Measles, mumps, rubella
