Approximately 70 percent of travelers develop a travel-related illness. That’s a very high percentage! You can greatly reduce your chances of picking up a travel-related illness with proper vaccinations and a few simple precautions. In fact, The World Health Organization encourages travelers to consult a travel medicine doctor 4 to 6 weeks prior to departure.

At Summit Health Group, we continually keep abreast of the ever-changing health situations around the world and are here to develop your pre-travel plan with you.
