Cathy Carron, MD, at Wall Street Physicians offers travel medicine services to patients in the Financial District area of New York City. Wall Street Physicians is a one-stop travel-preparation clinic for patients planning to travel abroad in the near future and needing to ensure their vaccinations and other health and wellness-related requirements are satisfied.
The vaccines required before travel to certain areas are difficult to find in the US. Travel medicine clinics keep a supply of hard-to-find vaccines, such as those for typhoid and yellow fever, on hand at all times. In addition, travel medicine doctors understand the unique requirements for each travel destination, allowing them to assist the patient in coordination and educate the patient for maximum safety while traveling. For this reason, many primary care doctors refer their patients to Wall Street Physicians for travel preparation each year.
Dr. Carron and her qualified team at Wall Street Physicians will administer the vaccinations required for the travel destination and provide the patient with information they need to stay well during their visit, including information on the vaccines received, signs and symptoms of infection or disease, measures they can take to avoid illness while abroad, and more. The appointment consists of a review of your medical history, administration of vaccines, giving appropriated prescriptions and education.
Because vaccines can take as long as 2 weeks to provide adequate protection, it’s best practice to receive them 2 – 4 weeks before traveling. However, last-minute travel doesn’t always allow for this ample time frame. In those cases, Dr. Carron will put forth her best effort to adequately prepare travelers.
In most cases, insurance companies don’t cover travel vaccines. However, those traveling for work may find that their employer will reimburse the cost of travel vaccines. In many cases, patients pay out of pocket for their vaccines. The best way to find out more about the coverage offered in any single plan is to call member services before the scheduled appointment, who can assist patients in determining their level of coverage and expected personal responsibility.
Which vaccines are recommended depends on a broad list of factors, including:
By visiting a travel medicine doctor, patients can ensure they receive a customized preventive treatment plan including the right vaccinations for their circumstances.
