Travel
medicine is more than "what shots do I need?" Written recommendations
from official agencies such the CDC and WHO provide only general
information for travel to particular countries. They do not take
into account the individual travelers' past medical history, specific
itinerary, level of immunity and season of travel. At Travel Health
Services we provide an individualized consultation based on your
particular medical health and travel history. In some cases the
recommended "list of vaccines" may be excessive and not entirely
necessary for your specific itinerary.

services are also available for travelers returning with illness,
especially those suffering from chronic diarrhea, intestinal complaints
or symptoms of an upper respiratory infection.
Travel
Health Services is also an internationally recognized research
center for chronic gastrointestinal symptoms in returning
travelers. Click here to learn more about our work and field
