International Aid Workers & College-bound students

Students can obtain meningitis vaccinations and any other immunizations they may require. A more comprehensive assessment and other immunizations are available for the traveling disaster aid worker or students preparing to study abroad.

Safety and Political Advisories

As part of the pre-travel office visit, the travel health specialists will provide you with detailed printouts of active travel risks on a country specific basis. 

Travel Insurance

Through the TIC, you can apply for the appropriate travel insurance for your trip, to further protect your investment.  We have partnered with MedexAssist to provide our clients with TravMed Abroad coverage.

Schedule an appointment

All patients are seen by appointment to ensure a thorough visit. Please call 913.469.0011 or E-mail us at tic@kc.rr.com to schedule your appointment today. Although “last minute” appointments are still beneficial, it is ideal to be seen several weeks prior to your departure. Most appointments can be made within two weeks of contacting TIC.

TIC’s comprehensive assessments includes obtaining specific information about your:

• Personal health history
• Prior immunizations
• Prior travel
• Travel itinerary
• Climate and altitude at your destinations
• Travel and lodging conditions
• Seasonal disease-bearing insect activity
• Rural vs. urban location of planned activities and excursions 

In addition to the verbal information provided during your office visit, each traveler will receive printed fact sheets containing the most current status of active health risks, basic country facts and U.S. State Department advisories and helpful contact information for each destination on the itinerary. The TIC will also provide you with the paperwork when necessary for documentation of vaccination certifications, visa requirements, and college immunization verification.
 

Immunizations, Prescriptions & Lab Tests

During your office visit, the TIC staff may prescribe certain vaccines and medications. All available vaccines for routine and international travel needs—even exotic ones such as typhoid, Yellow Fever and Japanese Encephalitis vaccines—are readily stocked in the office.

See our full list of vaccines.

It is often appropriate to suggest preventative and treatment measures for altitude illness, motion sickness, malaria, traveler’s diarrhea, jet lag and traveler's insomnia with prescription medications. With both physician and R.N. members on staff, the TIC is able to write prescriptions for appropriate medications during your office visit---unlike the local Health Department clinics, which do not have a physician available to write medication prescriptions.  When appropriate, our physician can also order and interpret lab testing.

Corporate Travelers & On-Site Vaccination Days

Whether for a small or large business, the TIC can meet all your employee travel health needs. Our corporate monthly billing service and priority scheduling will make your international travel planning uniquely simple and convenient.  

Arrange for our health specialists to come to your place of business and provide vaccinations for a day. Group vaccinations for Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, and Influenza can keep your employees healthy while at work here or abroad. Inquire for scheduling and fees. Contact us to make an appointment!
