TRAVEL MEDICINE

PRE-TRAVEL

Urgent Care of Oakley/Hyde Park offers a full range of services for patients traveling to exotic and not so exotic destinations. Anyone traveling to a country outside of the United States or Western Europe should visit the Centers for Disease Control's (CDC) web site at http://www.cdc.gov/travel/ to see what precautions and immunizations are recommended for the country or countries you plan to visit. Urgent Care of Oakley/Hyde Park always follows the recommendations made by the CDC with regards to safety and immunizations. During your visit with us, the physician will be available to discuss your particular needs based on the country of destination, length of time you will be traveling to a risk area, nature of your trip (pleasure, business, missionary work, etc.) and the time of year you will be traveling. Prescriptions for malaria & travelers' diarrhea are also available.

Travelers should give themselves a minimum of two weeks prior to departure to receive their immunizations. Some vaccinations such as rabies and Japanese Encephalitis (JE) are best administered over a four week period. It is also recommended that anyone receiving Japanese Encephalitis wait an additional ten days after the last dose is administered before traveling. Be sure to plan far enough in advance so that you can receive all of the immunizations recommended for the country you will be visiting.

TRAVEL PREPARATION

Only a small percentage of travelers become ill when away from home. The best offense is a good defense. One you have received the immunizations recommended for you, it is time to concentrate on those areas where active involvement can lessen your chance of illness, disease, accident and/or death.

The most common cause of death among travelers is cardiovascular disease, or more simply, a heart attack. The same as if you were at home! Be sure that you have all of the prescription medicines you are supposed to be taking and that you have enough, plus a small reserve, for the entire trip. Any symptoms related to or complications of chronic illnesses should be addressed with your family physician prior to traveling.
