Global Health Services – Mission Group / Humanitarian Vaccinations
If you are planning to travel to a foreign country as a volunteer or as part of a Mission Group / Humanitarian trip, you may be exposed to more risks than the average overseas traveler. In these cases, the proper precautions must be taken, and this means much more than getting your passport in order. Depending on where you may be traveling to, you may find that sanitation, food preparation and health care are severely lacking attention in many under developed countries and remote areas.
Even if you are an experienced international travel, you could find yourself affected by:
- Yellow Fever
- Hepatitis A
- Hepatitis B
- Typhoid
- Tetanus
- Polio
- Meningitis
- Rabies
- Japanese Encephalitis
- And Many More
All Mission, volunteer or adoption trips should include the proper pre-trip medical preparations. The problem is that many organizations do not include the cost of immunizations in their budgets. And some organizations ignore immunizations completely. This is dangerous and even if nobody got sick on the last trip abroad, it doesn’t mean that it can’t happen to you.
At Global Health Services in West Chester, Ohio, we will tailor a program that will fit your group’s needs and budget. This global health program will include:
- Pre-Travel Information: Our travel health specialists will take into account your group’s destinations, the activities you plan to engage in, the time of year, the length of stay and the latest news regarding outbreaks, warnings and knowledge of immunizations in order to properly educate your group prior to departure.
- Immunizations: We will inoculate you and make sure you have all required booster shots. This will keep you safe from common illnesses and disease that may be prevalent in the country or countries you may be traveling to.
