consulta do viajante — appointment before travelling to another country
A medical appointment at which your destination and travel dates are reviewed to decide which vaccinations and medicines you personally need. The DGS recommends seeking this advice in advance, from your own doctor or at this appointment, because recommendations for travellers often change with the situation in the country you are visiting.
Where you come across it. A trip to the tropics, questions about the dengue vaccine.
Vaccines on the national PNV schedule are given at the centro de saúde free of charge and without a prescription, but those needed specifically for the trip are not on the schedule and are prescribed at the appointment. Do not leave it until the day before you go: the advice itself depends on your departure date.
