Abstract
ABSTRACT
This article provides an overview of the approach to preparing patients for travel, including travel counseling and risk mitigation through vaccination and chemoprophylaxis. Although some patients require referral for consultation with a travel medicine specialist, others can be managed by their primary care provider. In this article, traveler's diarrhea, updated travel-related immunizations, and malaria prophylaxis are discussed.
