When Traveling Abroad...
When traveling abroad there is important medical information
that every traveler needs. The Genesee Infectious Diseases
& Travel Medicine Center is committed to providing the
general public with the specialized counseling and immunizations
necessary for safe travel outside of the United States.
Our office can provide you with information regarding any
country you may be traveling to, and can help with all the
necessary precautionary information that you need prior to
departure. We feel that these services offer you the traveler
the best protection against opportunistic infections.
Travel medicine is an interdisciplinary specialty concerned
with the prevention and management of health problems associated
with international travel. Now more than ever, people are
traveling to remote destinations throughout the world. The
role of a travel medicine practitioner is to provide the traveler
with expert advice regarding specific health risks and preventative
measures.
The Genesee Infectious Diseases & Travel Medicine Center
can provide you with information regarding the required and
recommended vaccinations for your destination country. All
travel patients receive pre- traveling counseling on food
and water precautions, insect precautions, malaria prophylaxis
as well as specific disease outbreak information throughout
the world.
We are able to meet the specific health needs of those with
chronic health problems such as diabetes or heart disease.
The Genesee Infectious Diseases & Travel Medicine Center
