Travel ClinicTravel can be a lot of fun. It’s a great way to learn more about our world and
its people, but there can be health risks when traveling and living in some parts of the world. You
should have a travel assessment, a review of your travel plan, if you plan to travel out of the
country. This will help prepare you for any health risks that might arise on your trip. The
Cuyahoga County Board of Health has a travel clinic that can help you. The travel clinic
provides a travel assessment and provides information,
vaccines,
and prescriptions for medication to help prevent illness during your travels. You should also
visit your regular doctor before your trip. This way you can be sure you do not have any health
problems that might create difficulties during your travels.
