FIND A TRAVEL HEALTHCARE PROVIDER

Find a Travel Healthcare Provider

Travel health is an important part of travel planning, so talking to a healthcare provider or pharmacist can help you learn:

  • Potential health risks in your country of travel
  • Preventative options to consider before you go
  • Safe food and water precautions while traveling

You may be prescribed and/or administered a preventative treatment option. Try to schedule your visit as soon as you choose your destination, or about a month before you leave, so you can make sure that any medicine or vaccine you get has time to work before you leave.
