Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance should I book a travel medicine consultation?

Ideally 4-6 weeks before departure, as some vaccines require multiple doses over several weeks (hepatitis B, rabies, Japanese encephalitis) and vaccines need time to generate immunity. However, same-day consultations are available for last-minute travel. Even with minimal lead time, your doctor can advise on priority vaccines, prescribe malaria prophylaxis and standby antibiotics, and provide the most critical protective measures for your itinerary. Do not skip a consultation because you think it is too late.

Can I get malaria tablets prescribed in an online consultation?

Yes, GeraClinic travel medicine doctors prescribe malaria chemoprophylaxis after assessing your itinerary, destination-specific drug resistance patterns, medical history, and contraindications. The appropriate choice (atovaquone/proguanil, doxycycline, mefloquine, or chloroquine in limited regions) depends on your destination regions, trip duration, and health status. Your prescription is issued with full guidance on timing, dosing, and what to do if symptoms develop during or after travel.
