Our travel health experts provide the following services during your consult:

  • Complete review of your travel itinerary
  • Review of your health risks
  • Review of prophylactic medications — including side effects and interactions with your currently prescribed drugs.
  • Patient education about medications and immunizations that help prevent illnesses including malaria, traveler's diarrhea, Hepatitis A and typhoid fever.
  • Immunizations for Hepatitis A and B, typhoid fever, rabies, measles/mumps/rubella, Japanese encephalitis, meningitis, and influenza.
  • Review of safety precautions tailored to your travel plans
  • Self-treatment guidance in the event of illness while traveling.
  • Details on follow-up care for travel-acquired illness.

The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center's Travel Health program provides complete destination-specific services based on recommendations by the:

  • Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
  • U.S. Department of State.
  • World Health Organization (WHO).

Based on your travels, our medical experts will discuss the recommended and required immunizations. These immunizations may be obtained through the University of Pittsburgh Vaccination and Health Connection Hub, Falk Pharmacy in Oakland, Allegheny County Health Department, or at your local pharmacy (if available).

Our board-certified infectious disease specialists also assess and treat travel-acquired illnesses.

Some of the common post-travel health issues we manage include:

Payment for Services

There is a fee for your consultation (in addition to the cost of travel-related immunizations). These fees are not covered by medical insurance as they are considered elective. Please do not ask us to bill your insurance.

Payment for consultation is due before the service takes place. If you do not pay for your visit in advance, your appointment will be cancelled.
