Your Visit to the Travel Clinic

Scheduling Your Appointment

Because some of the immunizations are given in a series over several weeks, appointments should be scheduled at least four weeks prior to your departure. If you are departing in less than four weeks, we will make every attempt to schedule you as soon as possible.

If you are planning to move to another country, please schedule your appointment several months before your departure.

What to Bring

In order to determine your travel needs and to make your visit to the Travel Clinic as efficient as possible, please bring the following information to your appointment:

  • Childhood vaccination/immunization records, if available
  • Travel itinerary with departure dates and all destinations
  • A list of any medications you are currently taking
  • World Health Organization International Certificate of Vaccination (WHO Yellow Book), if you have one

Fees and Payments

There will be a fee for the evaluation, as well as for any immunizations and medications you receive. We offer group discounts. Payment is due at the time services are rendered. We accept cash, check, and major credit cards.

We will provide you with an itemized receipt for insurance purposes. Keep in mind that most insurance policies do not cover costs associated with travel.
