Frequently Asked Questions"I'm planning a trip abroad. How soon do I need to call the clinic?"Some diseases require a series of inoculations that must begin two or three months before your trip. Be sure to allow enough time to complete the entire series before you travel. "Is malaria a problem in the area I'm visiting?"The Overseas Travel Clinic/SIT Health Center has the latest reports on many health hazards, including malaria, cholera, yellow fever, and diarrheal diseases. We provide you with the appropriate preventive medications as well as information on precautions you can take to decrease your risk. "It's just a short business trip. Do I need vaccinations?"Many countries require proof of vaccination against certain diseases before they will issue a visa. We make sure that you have the proper certificates so that your trip won't be interrupted. "I have a chronic condition. Do I need to take any special precautions?"Jet lag, altitude, a change in climate, unfamiliar food, and untreated water can have adverse effects on a chronic condition. Your Overseas Travel Clinic/SIT Health Center health care provider works with your primary care physician to customize a medical plan to fit your needs. |
