Travel Medicine

---

 Travel medicine is a highly dynamic specialty that focuses on pre-travel preventive care. A comprehensive risk assessment for each individual traveler is essential in order to accurately evaluate traveler-, itinerary-, and destination-specific risks, and to advise on the most appropriate risk management interventions to promote health and prevent adverse health outcomes during travel. 

 Vaccinations might be required and should be personalized according to the individual traveler’s immunization history, travel itinerary, and the amount of time available before departure.
