FAQ'S
A traveler's consultation is a specialized medical consultation aimed at people traveling to international destinations. In this consultation, information and preventive measures related to health during travel are provided, including vaccinations and advice on specific risks.
Anyone planning to travel to international destinations, especially to tropical, subtropical or other countries with different health conditions, should consider scheduling a traveler's appointment. This is particularly important for people with pre-existing health conditions, pregnant women, children or the elderly.
It is recommended to schedule the traveler's appointment at least 4 to 6 weeks before the travel date to ensure that there is enough time to administer all necessary vaccinations and that they become effective.
During the consultation, the doctor will assess the traveler's health, discuss the travel itinerary and potential risks associated with the destination. The doctor will also provide information about necessary vaccinations, preventative medications (such as antimalarials), and advice on dietary and behavioral precautions.
The most common vaccinations include yellow fever, hepatitis A and B, typhoid, cholera, Japanese encephalitis, rabies and meningitis, depending on the destination and length of travel.
Yes, it is advisable to bring your vaccination record, medical history, list of medications you are taking and details about the trip (destinations, dates and planned activities).
Some vaccines may be covered by the National Health Service (SNS), but others may have to be paid for by the traveler. It is important to check in advance the associated costs and whether health insurance covers any part of these costs.
If you become ill while traveling, you should seek local medical assistance as soon as possible. Bringing a list of medical contacts and information about your travel insurance can be helpful.
It is not mandatory, but it is recommended that you make a return appointment if you have visited areas at high risk of tropical diseases or if you experience symptoms of illness after returning, such as fever, persistent diarrhea, or rashes.
