Travel Medicine

Preparation and protection for international travel.

Whether you’re a college student planning to study abroad, a businessperson traveling overseas, or a couple going on that long-awaited African safari, a trip to another country is an exciting experience. But it also can pose risks to your health.

A Personal Approach in A Comfortable Environment 

At Vanguard Medical Group, we’re specialists in travel. We automatically stock the proper documentation and vaccines for your international trip. Most importantly we identify potential travel risks for your trip and counsel you on how to prevent them and give you a personized guide to make sure that your trip is enjoyable and safe

Such resources aren’t always found in private practice. Most primary care physicians lack travel medicine expertise. To get the proper vaccines, patients typically go to a hospital or travel clinic. Yet a hospital or clinic can be impersonal and bureaucratic with lengthy waits.

At Vanguard, you’ll be greeted warmly, evaluated thoroughly, and be ‘in and out’ in no time. We also work directly with your insurance company to save you time and paperwork.

Vaccinations at a Moment’s Notice 

No matter how complex your itinerary or medical history, we’ll get you the right vaccines and paperwork to protect your health while you are traveling. If you need to travel with medication, we’ll advise you on that as well. For last-minute travelers, we can schedule a same-day appointment, if needed.
