Travel Health Fact Sheets
Staying healthy during travel is important and time lost through illness can impact on the enjoyment of travel not to mention the cost.
The Travel Doctor-TMVC Fact Sheets are a useful resource for all travellers as well as travel agents, GPs and media. Some of the information in the Fact Sheets at this section of the website can also be found in the Travel Doctor-TMVC's publication "A Health Guide for International Travellers" - which is provided to each patient when they have a travel consultation as part of their travel health preparation.
These Fact Sheets are reviewed and updated on a regular basis. We hope you find them useful in preparing for your trip:
