Global Travel Health
Millions of people travel every year to destinations that present health risks ranging from traveler’s diarrhea and measles to malaria and yellow fever. The Brigham's Global Health Clinic is here to help international travelers have a safer, healthier trip.
Our team provides travelers with pre-travel planning, immunization and vaccines, and advice on disease avoidance. We pay special attention to the needs of immunocompromised people, pregnant women and those with other medicinal illnesses. In addition, we evaluate health issues in returning travelers and immigrants.
Travelers should schedule an initial consultation six to eight weeks before a trip, though we can often accommodate last-minute requests. Learn more here.
