Travel insurers and insurance providers wishing to offer customers the best possible health advice regarding required vaccinations and anti-malarials, have a new option – Pinpoint Travel Health (https://pinpointtravelhealth.com)
Pinpoint’s unique new Travel Health Brief service utilises cutting-edge technology and data from leading sources, including the World Health Organisation (WHO), to provide pinpoint precision within the travel health planning crucially required for far-flung, off-the-beaten track, gap year and cruise holidays.
It also allows for an itinerary to be checked with pinpoint precision, not just by country or region but right down to city, town or village level. Every touchpoint that a cruising holidaymaker has, on land or in port, can be built into a personalised health brief.

CROSS-CHECKING CUSTOMER VAX DATA
It can also help a traveller avoid invalidating their travel insurance cover. Many policies specify that ‘recommended’ or ‘correct’ vaccinations and anti-malarials must have been taken up. The issue is that many travellers struggle to ascertain what is actually needed.
With Pinpoint Travel Health, an individual’s Travel Health Brief is swiftly created. All it takes is for the traveller to fill in trip details, zoom in on destinations or places to be visited, or use digital mapping to plot out an entire trip, if moving between locations.
Screening questions assess when they are travelling, to where, their age, activities during their trip and any health conditions, including pregnancy, allergies and current medications. All of this then generates the personalised report, highlighting any diseases they could encounter and what anti-malarials might be suitable.
Taking this to a travel clinic allows for all jabs or medications to be administered swiftly and without duplicate data input and wasted administration time. The Travel Health Brief even details which clinics are closest to the traveller.
AFFILIATE SCHEME
Pinpoint Travel Health also operates an affiliate scheme, through which third party referrers can earn a commission on any Pinpoint Travel Health Briefs commissioned by customers of affiliates.
“Costing just £15 for a personalised report, the Travel Health Brief takes the uncertainty out of travel, helps keep a customer’s travel insurance valid and also potentially saves them money on any unnecessary vaccinations,” says Halliday. “We hope that forward-thinking travel insurance providers will recommend the service to their customers, to help keep them safer during their travels and avoid any issues further down the line.”
