Jul 8, 2024

Embarking on a journey, be it for business, leisure, or any other reason, is always an exciting prospect. Travel broadens our horizons and offers unique experiences. However, it can also potentially expose us to foreign diseases not common in our home area. As your trusted concierge primary care practice, Harper Health we are here to help ensure your travel is filled with adventures, not ailments. Here's our guide to staying healthy whilst on your travels.

Importance of Complete Vaccination

Vaccination is one of the most effective ways to avoid different diseases and their potentially severe complications. By stimulating your body's immune system to recognize and fight specific viruses and bacteria, vaccines prepare your body to ward off specific diseases effectively. Vaccines benefit both individual health and public health reducing the spread of preventable diseases.

Travel Vaccines - Securing Your Health Abroad

When traveling, your body may not be accustomed to the diseases prevalent in the destination country. This is where travel vaccines come into play. Travel vaccines can significantly reduce your risk of getting sick whilst abroad. Travel vaccines are based on the places you’re planning to visit, your health status and your vaccination history.

Harper Health's Travel & Vaccines Program

We provide a comprehensive set of services including pre-travel consultations, required and recommended vaccinations along with post-travel care all under one roof.We offer personalized advice to our valued patients based on their health history and travel destinations.

Protect Yourself and Others

Getting vaccinated is not only about protecting oneself but also about preventing the spread of diseases in the community, both at home and at your destination. Vaccine-preventable diseases can pose severe risks for unvaccinated individuals or individuals with compromised immunity. Therefore, it becomes our collective responsibility to curb the spread of preventable diseases.
