Abstract

Travel medicine has virtually stopped in light of the coronavirus pandemic. It is worth contemplating how travel medicine will be affected by the ongoing pandemic when international travel starts to become more possible. How will we advise patients, and utilize the coming vaccines that may be available? Travel medicine practices are well-suited to play a major role in advising travelers in the pandemic era.

Keywords: COVID-19; SARS-CoV-2; counselling; immunization; travel medicine.
