International Travel Clinic

Traveling to different countries can be exciting. However, when you travel to a tropical or developing country, you may be unsure about the safety and quality of food and water, and may be exposed to mosquitoes and other disease-carrying insects and animals. Certain vaccine-preventable illnesses (such as polio, measles, typhoid fever) may be endemic in the countries you are traveling to. If you do not know what the risks are or how to protect against them, you may become ill or injured either while traveling or after you return home.
