What It’s Really Like Getting a Travel Consult: A Nurse Walks You Through It

Planning a trip is exciting—but navigating vaccines, prescriptions, and medical prep? Not so much. The good news: it doesn’t have to be stressful.

As a nurse with Virtual Travel Clinic (VTC), I’ll walk you through exactly what happens during a travel consultation—so you know what to expect, how to prepare, and why it’s easier (and more affordable) than a traditional in-person visit.

Step 1: The Intake Form

Once you book, you’ll receive a secure intake form by email. This helps us understand your:

• Travel details (destination, length of stay, type of trip)
• Health history (conditions, allergies, vaccine records)
• Current medications

💡 Pro Tip: The more complete your form, the smoother your appointment will be.

Common issues we see (and how to avoid them):

Missing vaccine history? → Call your doctor or local health authority to request records.

Medications listed without reasons? → Be sure to note the condition each one is for. This helps us recommend safe, tailored options.

Step 2: The Appointment (100% Online via our secure telehealth platform)

On appointment day, you’ll join with a secure link. (Tip: Test the app before your appointment—tech issues are the #1 reason for delays!)

During the consult, your practitioner will:

⭐Review your intake form and clarify any missing details.

⭐Provide personalized vaccine and medication recommendations based on your exact trip.

• • Example: Travelling to Thailand? → Typhoid and Japanese Encephalitis may be recommended.
  • Heading to South America? → Yellow Fever vaccination may be required.
  • Safari in Africa? → Malaria prevention is key.

⭐Answer your questions and explain which vaccines are required, recommended, or optional.

📩 No need to memorize everything: You’ll get a detailed follow-up email summarizing your plan.

Step 3: Prescriptions, Pickup & Peace of Mind

After your consult, your prescriptions are reviewed by a physician and sent directly to your preferred pharmacy.

You’ll also receive a follow-up email with:

• A recap of your vaccines and medications
• Prescription details
• Helpful travel health resources

✅ From there, you just book your vaccine appointments and pick up any medications. Easy, right?
