During these virtual visits, clinicians review the patient’s travel itinerary and medical history to ensure the live-attenuated “typhoid pills” are safe for them, as these must be started at least one week before departure.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)?
Understanding Travel Medicine
Travel medicine is a specialized field focused on preventive care to ensure a healthy journey. At Cleveland Care Clinic Telehealth, we provide comprehensive, personalized risk assessments based on your unique health history, specific itinerary, and destination. Our experts offer essential immunizations along with professional advice on safety and disease prevention tailored to your trip.
The CDC and World Health Organization maintain the latest requirements for international travel. During your consultation at UT Health Services, our providers will cross-reference these global standards with your specific itinerary, medical history, and current health status to determine exactly which immunizations are right for you.
We recommend scheduling your consultation six to eight weeks before your departure. This allows enough time for certain vaccines to become fully effective and for any multi-dose series to be completed.
If you are pregnant, please consult with your obstetrician before scheduling any vaccinations. Certain travel immunizations have not been fully studied for safety during pregnancy, and your OB-GYN can help determine the best course of action for you and your baby.
In many cases, children do require specific immunizations for international travel. However, certain vaccines are not suitable for infants or young children.
Please note: Cleveland Telehealth currently only provides immunizations for individuals aged 16 and older. For children under 16, we recommend consulting your pediatrician to ensure they receive age-appropriate care.
In most cases, you can still receive the necessary vaccinations for your trip. However, because certain vaccines may require special consideration, we recommend consulting your primary healthcare provider or specialist for official approval before scheduling your travel consultation with us.
Whether you are visiting family in your home country or traveling to the USA, a health risk assessment is essential for any international journey. Even if you grew up in a specific region, your immunity to local diseases may have decreased over time. We recommend a consultation to ensure you remain protected during your visit.
Most health insurance plans do not cover immunizations for international travel. Consequently, we do not file claims with insurance providers.
Payment Policy:
When to Pay: Full payment for the consultation and all administered vaccines is required at the time of service.
Payment Methods: We accept all major credit cards.
Reimbursement: While we do not bill insurance, we can provide you with a detailed receipt if you wish to file a personal claim for reimbursement.
To ensure you receive the most accurate recommendations, please provide the following during your visit:
Detailed Itinerary: Include specific countries, provinces, and cities you plan to visit.
Activity List: Mention planned activities (e.g., hiking, rural stays, or animal contact).
Medical Information: A current list of medications and your official vaccination records.
