Center for Travel Medicine

The Center for Travel Medicine at Mount Sinai Medical Center provides travelers with protection from contracting diseases before they depart on their overseas journey. The physicians at the Center for Travel Medicine are committed to serving the global traveler with comprehensive care before and after a trip. The Center protects travelers from a host of diseases including malaria, hepatitis B, yellow fever, rabies, polio, diphtheria, typhoid, meningitis and the most common affliction, travelers’ diarrhea. In addition to inoculations, travelers receive a full range of other services.
