Kansas City's Only Travel Health Specialists
Out of 30 million Americans who travel abroad each year, approximately 8
million will be traveling to lesser-developed countries where the
incidence of tropical and infectious diseases is high. Almost 2
million U.S. travelers are exposed to malaria each year. Many of
these people are not warned about malaria's life-threatening risks.The
travel health specialists at The Travel and Immunization Clinic provide
prospective travelers with pre-travel counseling along with
immunizations and medications needed to stay healthy while traveling
abroad. Post-travel assessments are also available to
returning travelers who develop a travel related illness.
During a pre-travel consultation with our R.N. travel specialist,
clients are provided with country specific verbal information, as well as
printed fact sheets containing the most accurate status of active health
risks, basic country specifics, and U.S. State Department Advisories for
each destination they plan to visit. Our database of over 200
countries is updated weekly from information compiled by the World Health
Organization (WHO), and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), thus
ensuring each traveler receives current data specifically for their
planned itinerary.
The Travel and Immunization Clinic is an official state
licensed yellow fever vaccination site and, in addition, we can provide
all currently available vaccines for domestic and travel needs.
In addition, medications may be prescribed for the prevention of
malaria, motion sickness, altitude sickness, and traveler's diarrhea.
