Travel medicine is an essential aspect of international travel. By consulting with a travel medicine specialist at 7Springs and taking appropriate preventive measures, travelers can minimise their risk of encountering health problems during their trip and ensure a safe and enjoyable travel experience.

Vaccinations are an important aspect of travel medicine. Vaccines protect travelers from infectious diseases that are prevalent in their destination country but may not be common in their home country. Some vaccinations are required by law for entry into certain countries, such as the yellow fever vaccine. Travel medicine specialists can administer and advise on a wide range of vaccinations, including hepatitis A and B, typhoid, rabies, and meningococcal disease, among others.

In addition to vaccinations, travel medicine specialists may prescribe preventive medications to protect against certain health risks, such as malaria, altitude sickness, or traveler’s diarrhea. Travel medicine professionals can also provide advice on how to avoid exposure to environmental hazards, such as sunburn, insect bites, or food and water contamination. That’s why we provide a wide range of travel medicine services including:

• travel health information
• Provision and advice on vaccinations
• Vaccination booklets
• preparation of documentation for carrying medication overseas
• preventative and treatment medications
• Yellow and Qfever

At 7Springs Medical Practice, we understand that vaccinations need time to become effective. Therefore, we recommend that you schedule your appointment at least 6-8 weeks before your travel date.
