Travel health screening is conducted to take necessary precautions to protect an individual’s health and well-being while traveling.
Travel Health Advice consultations are scheduled health appointments carried out by nurses or doctors prior to traveling abroad. Ideally if you are travelling abroad for business, vacation or for a charity trip a full travel health advice consultation should be completed. A travel clinic consultation includes a specific travel health risk assessment. The risk assessment will include the noting of health conditions which may impact on vaccinations which may be relevant for the trip. It should also include amongst other things a discussion about all health risks in the chosen destination of travel. Once a travel clinic consultation is done recommended vaccinations can be offered to the traveler and administered.
Now, there are a few more reasons why you will require a travel advice consultation. Let’s take a sneak peek.
The Threat to Yourself and Natives
You can become a threat to natives or fellow travelers if you are already suffering from a chronic or acute disease. In relation to the COVID 19, travelers spread the disease around the world. It’s important to get health advice from expert health professionals like travel health nurses. With urgent travel it is still adviced to have a travel clinic consultation because many vaccines can still be had prior to travel, and can still offer some protection. The nurse will also discuss specific travel related risks you may encounter on your trip.
Recent Surgeries
Scheduling a travel health advice consultation also becomes very important if you have undergone surgeries recently. The consultation will acknowledge what health measures you may need to take before and whilst on the trip.
Getting Necessary Vaccines
When traveling to some countries there are may be mandatory vaccines that are required for entry into the country. A discussion can be had with your travel health advice nurse and you can discuss the relevance of these vaccines for your trip. There may also be other vaccines that may be advices for your health and safety whilst abroad.
