- They do not offer rabies vaccination.
- They will not write an antibiotic prescription.
After checking the web, we found Travel Health Services. They are members of the International Society of Travel Medicine and local to Columbus (not a chain). We've seen them three times in the last few weeks and can highly recommend them: professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. A booklet specific to your destination is prepared prior to your first visit, and all the recommendations are reviewed with you. We learned something new; even though hepatitis B vaccination is usually discussed in the context of tattoos or sex tourism, neither one of which is our thing, it can also come up in medical care. For example, a doctor giving you a couple of stitches could nick a finger and expose you to their blood. According to Suzanne, hep B is 15 times more transmissible than HIV.
If you have any travel medicine needs or questions, we can highly recommend them.
Sounds like a good service for those who travel frequently.
