Travel Health Requirements
Staying healthy while you travel isn't just about not drinking suspect water or dining out on spicy street food--it's also about following specific travel health requirements. While many childhood and adult diseases like polio and the mumps have been virtually eliminated in the United States, they still flourish in many parts of the world. For this reason, your travel preparations may include required vaccines. At Passport Health, we keep detailed information on both travel health requirements and necessary travel precautions. While many destinations have their own travel vaccination requirements, we provide additional, recommended vaccinations to ensure your health abroad. Our skilled professionals can also provide you with booster vaccinations for difficult-to-find vaccines for polio and meningitis. Yellow Fever Travel Health RequirementsYellow fever is a viral infection that still kills tens of thousands of unvaccinated people in the world each year. Because of this, you must be vaccinated for yellow fever prior to departure for many African and South American countries. Passport Health is an official yellow fever vaccination site, and as such we always have a supply of this relatively rare vaccine on hand. Contact our main office now to schedule an appointment to learn more about travel health requirements for your destination. At the conclusion of your appointment, we will also provide you with detailed information on how to limit your exposure to travel illnesses like yellow fever. If your work schedule prevents you from visiting our offices during the week, we are happy to make a Saturday travel health appointment for you.
