Heading out for an exotic vacation abroad? International travel can be extremely exciting, but there is also something a little nerve-wracking about leaving behind the comforts and amenities offered in the United States. This can be especially true for first-time travelers or individuals who are visiting locals that are “off the beaten path."

Thankfully, there are ways to make sure your trip goes smoother – before you even board the plane. If you or your family are taking a trip out of town, stop by AFC Urgent Care North Andover to speak with a Provider about the precautions you can take to keep yourself healthy and fit for the flight.

Travel Medicine in Andover, MA

Our board-certified physicians and medical providers can give you a full travel consultation on site. This will allow you to know what to look out for on your travels, what medicines to bring from home, and what immunizations you should receive before leaving.

Whether you are going for a short vacation or for a few months, it is recommended to get updated vaccines. This is due to other countries having illnesses that are not seen in the United States, so our bodies do not have antibodies to fight it off.

Travel Vaccines Available in Tewksbury, MA

Our physicians are trained to know the best vaccines to receive, depending on the country you are going to. Not all vaccines are always available, so it is best to call ahead to make sure. The following vaccines are commonly recommended:

• HPV
• Meningococcal
• Polio
• Tetanus
• Rabies
• MMR

Our physicians may also provide you with medication to take with you. Be sure to provide all of your health risks when you come in for a visit.
