Travel Health Consultations with Prosper Health

A travel health consultation provides preventive care for each member of your family, tailored to your age, health, medical history, destination, season, planned activities, and length of stay.

Destination-Specific Vaccines

Not every trip requires the same vaccines, and the right recommendations depend on where you're going, what you'll be doing, and how long you'll be there. We tailor everything to your specific itinerary.

Hepatitis A and B vaccines
Typhoid vaccination (oral and injectable)
Yellow fever vaccination (required for entry to certain countries)
Meningococcal vaccine
Japanese encephalitis vaccine
Rabies pre-exposure prophylaxis
Malaria prevention counseling and prescriptions (chloroquine, doxycycline, atovaquone-proguanil)

Travel Medications

Traveling with a chronic condition such as asthma, diabetes, or allergies requires careful consideration. We will make sure you have all the necessary medications, such as insulin or inhalers, and offer guidance to ensure a safe and enjoyable trip for your family.

Beyond vaccines and chronic disease management, we can prescribe medications for common travel-related issues before you leave. Traveler's diarrhea antibiotics, anti-nausea medication, altitude sickness prevention for high-elevation destinations, and motion sickness medication are all available when clinically appropriate.

Who Should Schedule a Travel Medicine Visit?

Anyone traveling internationally, especially to developing countries, tropical regions, or areas with known disease outbreaks. Also important for travelers with chronic conditions like diabetes or immunodeficiency, and for those planning adventure travel, humanitarian work, or extended stays abroad.

It's important to schedule your travel consultation at least 4-6 weeks before your trip, or even earlier, to ensure we have time to complete any necessary steps. If your travels are sooner than four weeks out, come in anyway. Some protection is better than none, and there's still a lot we can do on a shorter timeline. Our goal is to safeguard the health and well-being of every member of your family during your upcoming journey.

Post-Travel Care

Came home with something that doesn't feel right? Don't ignore symptoms that develop within a few weeks of an international trip. Some travel-related illnesses, such as malaria, can take time to appear and may mimic the symptoms of other diseases at first. If you've been abroad and you're feeling off, come in and tell us where you traveled, and we'll recommend the appropriate course of action to get your health back on track.
