Frequently asked questions
Do I really need a pre-travel medical evaluation?
If you’re traveling to regions where infectious diseases are more common or medical resources are limited, a tailored evaluation helps you prevent illness and meet entry or recommendation requirements (e.g., malaria risk review, vaccines like typhoid or yellow fever, and prescriptions).
When should I book?
Aim for 4–6 weeks before departure to allow vaccines to take effect and to complete any multidose series. If you’re leaving sooner, call us—we’ll prioritize what offers the most protection now.
