Travel Health Information
MASTA provides subscribers with a personalised "Travel Health Brief" service. These health briefs integrate recommendations on vaccines, seasonal diseases advice, malaria endemicity maps, through to travel kit items to consider, for an itinerary of up to 10 countries. Only MASTA provides such integrated health briefs.
Travel health brief requests made by fax can be generated and returned within the same day. However, we recommend that subscribers take advantage of the website, as this is what we use ourselves to service all other requests!
The website provides 24 hour on-demand access to:
- An online generator that creates health briefs instantly. These briefs can be retrieved again at any time.
- A news section covering outbreaks and general travel health news.
- Fact sheets that provide information on medications, vaccines and a range of travel health issues.
- Any of this information can be instantly integrated into the patient's medical record (by cut and paste).
Access For Non-Subscribers
Members of the public can also purchase a "Travel Health Brief" for a fee of $A20. Individuals and group travellers can contact us by email or fax. Email is the preferred contact method. Note that faxed reponses will not provide you with full colour malaria maps.
