dr Karmen Jaaniso

resident infectious disease specialist

Karmen Jaaniso

Introduction

I welcome everyone who plans to travel to a foreign country. I advise on how best to protect your health while traveling – for example, how to avoid mosquito-borne infections and infections accompanied by diarrhea. We discuss which vaccines would be necessary and whether there is a need for malaria prophylaxis. If necessary, I advise on preventing altitude sickness, decompression sickness, sexually transmitted infections, sunburn, and other issues.
