AFTER YOU RETURN
After routine travel for short amounts of time, a medical examination is usually not necessary. However, in certain circumstances, it is advisable to be seen by a medical provider, preferably someone that has specialized in travel medicine. If you are experiencing any of the following, please call SHS or walk in:
• Suffering from a fever, diarrhea, vomiting, jaundice, urinary problems, skin or genital infections, or flu-like symptoms shortly after returning from travel should have a medical examination immediately.
• Having a medical examination after a long stay abroad is advised. While certain diseases do not develop immediately after travel, some may appear within a few weeks. Anyone who becomes ill after returning from extended travel abroad should contact the SHS for an appointment.
•There is always the possibility that a person who has been traveling has contracted an unusual disease some with symptoms that do not become evident until many months following exposure. If you are experiencing unexplainable symptoms, please seek an appointment at SHS.
