Travel related disease something to track and prevent.

Travel Managers and HR departments may not like the subject of an organized on-site travel immunization program. However, they may not like the eventual results of not having one even more. Travel related disease is on the rise as new infectious diseases crop up. It takes time to work on vaccine and a medication protocol for new diseases, but we already have the ability to keep people who are travelling (and at home) protected from many of them. Most travel professionals and HR departments cannot provide a true tracking of any employee at any time travelling, nor can they provide costs comparatives and budget controls. On-site delivery programs offer more consistency than clinic use. Many doctors do not provide travel immunizations any longer and some states do not allow pharmacy implementation. Multi-site companies have no unified tracking when they have nurses at some and not all locations. With an outside, turnkey travel immunization program, companies can both save money and provide employees with safety measures that will provide assurance when abroad and at home.
