Where to get Travel Vaccines and Consults In Lanham

Our Travel and Vaccines clinic offers advice and preventive care to individuals traveling abroad or within the US according to CDC (Centers for Disease Control) and WHO (World Health Organization) recommendations.

We furnish prescriptions for the prevention of Malaria, Altitude Illness, and Traveler’s Diarrhea, and we offer vaccines and immunizations for the prevention of the infections you might be at risk of contracting during your travel. Medical advice for patients planning trips abroad must be individualized and based on the most current expert recommendations.

One third of persons who travel abroad experience a travel-related illness, usually diarrhea or an upper respiratory infection. Each year as many as 45 million Americans travel abroad, with about 20 million of them spending time in rural areas or developing countries, locations where the risks of contracting an illness are great. On a typical two-week trip, travelers “lost” an average of three days because of illness. Almost 20 percent of them remained ill after their return home, and 10 percent sought medical care for their illnesses.

According to data from Conde Nast Traveler, each year 25,000 Americans are injured during travel abroad, and 750 Americans are killed in motor vehicle accidents abroad therefore it is wise to get an Insurance Coverage for your trip.
