Travel Health Consult

At Amani, we provide travellers with a specialized consultation service. Our travel health specialists will evaluate your unique circumstances, educate you on the health risks and precautions associated with your destination, and offer you with specific vaccination and medicine recommendations to keep you healthy while travelling. Regardless of your destination, South Africa, Peru, Guatemala, Mexico, Zambia, etc., we evaluate the location, your accommodation plans, and your planned activities to assure your safety and well-being. Each of our locations is also a Yellow Fever vaccine centre.

This is your opportunity to ask any questions regarding the health and safety of your travel destination. But don't worry if you don't have any; our specialists have materials that cover health and safety problems unique to your holiday destination, as well as recommendations on how to participate in activities there safely. For instance, they will examine your vaccination record to ensure that you are protected against any diseases that may be prevalent in your destination country.

If our specialists identify any potential concerns and you opt to get vaccinated, you can do so at any of our sites following your appointment. If you have a video consultation, the travel specialist will organize an appointment for you to obtain your immunizations at one of our nearby clinics.

Some tips include:

1. This consultation could be virtual or in-person. So before visiting any of our locations, please confirm your appointment is scheduled for in-person and not for a virtual consult.
2. Before your consultation, consider any questions you may have regarding your holiday destination in order to get the most out of it.
3. Plan your consultation at least six weeks in advance of your travel. However, if you need to do it at the last minute, we will work with you.

 Travel health goes beyond just vaccines. Staying healthy while you're on your trip means being aware of all risks and how to be as prepared as possible. 

During your consult, our travel health practitioners will;

• Assess your needs based on where you plan to travel and your planned activities.
• Review your travel itinerary, vaccination history, medical conditions, allergies and current medications and advise you accordingly.
• Provide you with a detailed risk assessment regarding your international travel including accommodation, trip activities and trip-related health concerns.
• Make recommendations for travel vaccines to ensure adequate protection against preventable travel diseases using the Committee to Advise on Tropical Medicine and Travel (CATMAT) and CDC recommendations.
• Our clinics use the Shoreland Travax, a premiere clinical decision support tool that assists them in making decisions from the clearest independent researched risk-mitigation recommendation available.
