A recent article published in Integrated Pharmacy Research & Practice discussed that the rates of international travel has been increasing in the recent past, especially, travel to Southeast Asia and to emerging economies. The authors reported that although all patients traveling across geographic regions are recommended to receive a pre-travel consultation to ascertain their individual risks, many either do not receive or are given care and recommendations that are not consistent with current evidence-based guidelines. It was stated that as experts in drug therapy and given the largely preventive nature of most travel health recommendations, pharmacists are well suited to help address this need. Despite a high degree of knowledge and confidence among pharmacists with more commonly observed travel health topics in community practice such as travelers diarrhea, training in more specialized travel health topics such as travel vaccinations and traveling at altitude, has generally been lacking from pharmacy curricula. Moreover, pharmacists with an interest in providing pre-travel consultations are encouraged to pursue additional training in this specialty and to consider Certificate in Travel Health designation from the International Society of Travel Medicine. Future roles for pharmacists must include prescription of medications and vaccines for travel; the in-pharmacy administration of travel vaccinations may improve patient access to pre-travel consultations and recommended preventive measures, improving the health of travelers and potentially reducing the burden of communicable disease worldwide. Furthermore, pharmacists providing travel care to patients should also be instructed to consider noninfectious risks of illness and injury abroad and to counsel patients on strategies to minimize these risks, apart from providing drug and vaccine recommendations.
