Why Choose Clarity Medical for Your Travel Health Needs?

At Clarity Medical St Kilda East, we offer a comprehensive range of travel health services designed to keep you healthy while you explore. Our services include:

 

Travel Health Consultations

Our experienced GPs will conduct a detailed consultation to discuss your travel plans and specific health needs. This includes reviewing any current medications and understanding your medical history to provide a personalised travel health plan.

 

Travel Vaccinations

Different destinations may expose travellers to illnesses not commonly found in Australia. We provide necessary vaccinations tailored to your destination, including protection against diseases like Hepatitis A, Typhoid and Yellow Fever.

 

Advice on Travel-Related Illnesses

Travel can expose you to a variety of health risks, from food-borne illnesses to insect-borne diseases. We’ll guide you on how to avoid these risks, including safe food and water practices, and steps to protect yourself from mosquitoes and other insects that may transmit diseases like malaria or dengue fever.

 

Medications for Safe Travel

Our GPs can prescribe essential medications to have on hand, such as antimalarial medications, altitude sickness pills, and treatment for traveller’s diarrhoea, to ensure you’re prepared for any health issues that may arise during your trip.

Planning Ahead: Book Early for Travel Vaccinations

Some vaccines require multiple doses or take time to reach full effectiveness. To ensure you’re fully protected before you depart, it’s best to book your travel health consultation as early as possible, ideally 6–8 weeks before your trip.

If you require a Yellow Fever vaccination, appointments are available with Dr. Nick Rhodes, Dr. Linda Stiglitz, or Dr. Nick Carr.

 

Remember to bring along your immunisation history to your consultation. In some cases, a blood test may be needed to confirm your immunity to previous vaccinations.

 

Please note that practice fees apply to your consultation, with Medicare rebates available for eligible patients. Vaccines supplied and administered at Clarity Medical incur an additional cost, and your private health insurer may offer a rebate depending on your policy.
