Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral for a travel medicine appointment?
No, you can book a travel medicine appointment without a referral.
When should I see a travel medicine specialist?
We recommend booking an appointment at least one month before your planned trip—or earlier if possible—to allow enough time for the vaccines to become effective. In some cases, booster shots are needed, which requires more time.
Which vaccines do I need for my trip?
The necessary vaccines depend on your destination, the nature and duration of your trip, and your previous vaccination history. The specialist will create a personal plan for you.
Is a travel medicine consultation suitable for children?
Yes, a travel medicine consultation is suitable for children of all ages. We advise parents on vaccinating children and keeping them healthy while travelling.
What should I know about travel insurance?
A travel medicine specialist can advise you on the most suitable type of travel insurance for your trip and what to look out for.
Can I also get vaccinated during the travel medicine appointment?
Yes, necessary vaccinations can be administered on-site during the appointment.
What should I do if I have health concerns after my trip?
If you experience health problems after your trip, especially a fever or unusual symptoms, contact your family doctor or a general practitioner immediately.
