Before visiting the doctor

travel medicine - before your visit
Before visiting a travel medicine doctor, you should prepare information that will allow you to optimally prepare your health for the trip:
  • The exact route of the journey,
  • Date and nature of the trip (vacation, work, research),
  • Planned elements of active tourism (mountain hiking, diving, cave exploration, animal hunting),
  • Age of the traveler (this applies especially to children),
  • Recent illnesses and possible chronic conditions,
  • A list of medications taken on a regular basis,
  • Previous vaccinations (take your vaccination booklet),
  • Antimalarial drugs used in the past,
  • Allergies to medications, egg whites (a component of many vaccines) or other substances,
  • Pregnancy or planned breastfeeding while traveling,
  • Immune disorders in travelers – related to chronic diseases or the use of medications,
