When to make an appointment for travel consultation and vaccinations?
By consulting a doctor well in advance, you can ensure that you are adequately prepared and protected against potential health hazards during your trip.
It is best to schedule a travel health consultation six to eight weeks before your departure date. This allows the vaccines and medications to take effect or for another dose, if necessary.
However, even if your trip is coming up sooner, you can still benefit from last-minute advice and recommendations.
Travel health consultations are essential when visiting countries or geographical areas with higher health risks, such as parts of Africa, Asia, Central and South America, and the Middle East.
