Don't go unprotected!

Call us now to be fully informed and prepared. Same day appointments are available in most cases. The results of the Haitian earthquake are devastating and causing additional disease and injury risks. Please don't go unprotected.

Passport Health is reaching out to all volunteer and relief organizations and
is offering extended ours throughout their national network of clinics. Call us today at 305-642-9889 and we will work with your schedule to get you into
our office as soon as possible.

Have a whole group going to help? Passport Health will also come on-site for departing volunteer groups.

Passport Health supports your efforts for helping the victims and families of this horrible tragedy.

Passport Health Miami decided to waive all consultation and administrative fees associated with our services. Therefore, you will
need to cover only the cost of vaccines and malaria medications. As supplies last we are giving each person an alcohol-free hand sanitizer and Ceralyte, the rice-based oral electrolyte flavored powder drink mix.

Call us at 305-642-9889.


Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)
is an international medical humanitarian organization created by doctors and journalists in France in 1971.

Today, MSF provides aid in nearly 60 countries to people whose survival is threatened by violence, neglect, or catastrophe, primarily due to armed conflict, epidemics, malnutrition, exclusion from health care, or natural disasters. MSF provides independent, impartial assistance to those most in need.

In 1999, MSF received the Nobel Peace Prize.

We have been working closely with Project Medishare getting volunteers vaccinated prior to departure to Port-au-Prince. Our own Claudie Boulay, RN, just back from Haiti with Project Medishare, will share with you first hand experiences.


Relief workers and others who must travel to affected areas should:

• Consult a travel medicine physician or clinic for an individualized health and risk assessment prior to departure.
• Ensure that routine vaccinations (including tetanus, diphtheria and measles) are up-to-date.
• Consider the following vaccinations: hepatitis A, hepatitis B, typhoid and rabies.
• Malaria risk is present in all of Haiti. Discuss preventative medications with your travel medicine consultant.
• Read the fact sheets on Avoiding Illness, Selecting Safe Food and Water, and Avoiding Injuries (available at Passport Health)


While in Haiti:

• Monitor developments and heed all warnings, including those concerning tsunamis. Aftershocks and other natural disasters may still worsen the situation.
• Be aware of the significant security risks. The situation is volatile and could further deteriorate. Looting has occurred in some areas, as well as some protests and civil unrest. Opportunistic crime is expected to increase.
• Consider carrying loperamide and an appropriate antibiotic for self-treatment of diarrhea. Diarrhea that lasts more than a few days may be caused by a parasite (e.g., giardia, cyclospora or cryptosporidium) and require treatment.
• Use insect repellent that contains DEET. People older than two months of age can use preparations containing up to 35% DEET - the higher the concentration, the longer it repels.
• Practice good hygiene. Wash your hands with soap regularly and wash skin cuts/abrasions thoroughly. Treat skin infections early.
• Drink only boiled or bottled water, or canned or carbonated beverages. Avoid ice, as it may have been made with unsafe water.
