Expert travel health consultations — telehealth or in-person. Discuss destination-specific vaccines, malaria prevention, and a personalized travel health plan before your next trip.
From pre-travel risk assessments to vaccine planning and travel health guidance, Icon Medicine's travel clinic helps you prepare for international travel.
Destination-specific risk assessment tailored to your itinerary, activities, and medical history. We review CDC and WHO travel advisories and create a personalized health plan for your trip.
Travel vaccine recommendations may include yellow fever, hepatitis A & B, typhoid, Japanese encephalitis, meningococcal meningitis, and rabies pre-exposure. Your provider confirms what is appropriate and available for your trip.
Prescription of the right antimalarial for your destination — atovaquone-proguanil (Malarone), doxycycline, or mefloquine — based on resistance patterns, trip duration, and your health profile.
Acetazolamide (Diamox) prescriptions for high-altitude travel to Peru, Nepal, Bolivia, and other destinations above 8,000 ft. Acclimatization coaching included.
Antibiotic prescription for self-treatment (azithromycin or ciprofloxacin), loperamide, and guidance on safe food and water practices, oral rehydration, and when to seek emergency care.
Returning from travel with a fever, rash, or prolonged diarrhea? Contact the clinic to discuss whether a telehealth evaluation, in-person care, or testing is appropriate.
The right vaccines depend on your destination, activities, and personal medical history. Your provider will make final recommendations at your consultation.

Icon Medicine's travel clinic is designed for any Maryland resident traveling internationally — from first-time passport holders to frequent business travelers.
Heading to Africa, Asia, or Central America for the first time? We review relevant vaccines, medications, and precautions for your itinerary.
Regular international travel may require keeping vaccines current and discussing whether preventive medication or traveler's diarrhea treatment is appropriate.
Trekking in Nepal, safaris in Tanzania, diving in Indonesia — high-adventure itineraries carry specific risks (altitude, wildlife, remote healthcare access) requiring specialized prep.
Extended stays in developing regions require comprehensive pre-travel prep, including rabies pre-exposure, full hepatitis coverage, and prolonged malaria chemoprophylaxis.
Saudi Arabia may require meningococcal vaccination documentation for Hajj and Umrah pilgrims. Ask the clinic about current requirements, vaccine availability, and documentation.
Children traveling to tropical and developing regions may need age-appropriate recommendations. Ask the clinic whether pediatric travel care is available for your family.
Travel consultation visits are often covered by insurance; vaccine administration coverage varies by plan. Self-pay pricing is transparent and affordable.
