MaineHealth Infectious Disease South Portland specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of communicable diseases for adults. Our team includes specialty-trained and board-certified physicians. A primary care physician referral is required to schedule an appointment.
Travel medicine consultations are available for anyone planning, or returning from, travel in another country. Our board-certified tropical and infectious disease physicians are state-certified providers for yellow fever vaccine. They will review your itinerary and recommend appropriate vaccinations, malaria prophylaxis, food and water precautions, and educational material.
An important part of preparing for travel is immunizations. Immunization decisions are based on individualized considerations, such as your general state of health, travel destination, planned activities, and length of stay. Some vaccinations require several doses, spaced weeks apart, to provide maximum protection. We recommend an appointment at least 6 weeks before your departure date. Some illnesses can emerge weeks after returning home. Please contact us if you experience symptoms after travel such as intestinal illness, fever or rash.

Whether traveling for fun or for business, for a short or long stay, travelers can take advantage of the unique expertise and comprehensive services provided by MaineHealth Infectious Disease Biddeford. Our practice offers consultation and vaccines for anyone planning to travel abroad. Ideally, travelers should schedule their appointment at least 6 weeks before travelling; however, anyone seeking services for last-minute travel are encouraged to call as well.
A care team member will contact you prior to your appointment to review your itinerary, and ensure that the appropriate vaccinations, malaria prevention, food and water precautions, and educational material are recommended. The appointment, usually an hour, includes counseling and education, prescriptions, and vaccines.
We also consult with travelers with special needs such as those who are pregnant, immunocompromised, traveling with children, missionaries, health care providers traveling to provide disaster relief, foreign-born travelers returning to visit friends or relatives, or travelers involved in international adoptions.
Some illnesses can emerge weeks after returning home. Travelers are encouraged to contact us in the event of post-travel intestinal illnesses, fevers or rashes. Insurance reimbursement for travel medicine services varies widely, with many insurance plans not covering this service. Payment is due at the time of service.
