All travelers should make the International Travel Medicine Program their first stop on the itinerary.
Designated by the state of Texas as an official yellow fever vaccination site, the program also provides other travel immunizations including vaccines for:
- Yellow fever
- Typhoid fever
- Hepatitis A and B
- Meningitis
- Japanese encephalitis
- Rabies
Medications may also be prescribed by a physician on staff at Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Hurst-Euless-Bedford for the prevention of malaria, motion sickness and altitude sickness as well as for the treatment of travel-associated diarrhea.
In addition to vaccinations, the International Travel Medicine Program has access to a worldwide network of continually updated health information. As health risks change throughout the world, the program advises travelers of any additional precautions they may need to take. These specific risks may be related to water, food, disease, environment, politics, social conditions and other complications.
