Vaccines may be recommended to
protect travelers from illnesses
present in other parts of the
world and to prevent the
importation of infectious
diseases across international
borders. Which vaccinations you
need depends on a number of
factors including your
destination, whether you will be
spending time in rural areas,
the season of the year you are
traveling, your age, health
status, and previous
immunizations.
Ideally, an appointment should
be made 4-6 weeks prior to travel, since most
vaccines take time to become effective in your
body and some vaccines must be given in a series
over a period of days or sometimes weeks.
However, if it is less than 4 weeks before you
leave you may still receive disease protection.
Immunizations are provided by appointment only.
Free consultations are available in three
convenient clinic locations, listed below.
Depending on the destination, needed
immunizations may include:
- Hepatitis A
- Hepatitis B
- Japanese Encephalitis
- Measles, Mumps and Rubella
- Meningitis (meningococcus)
- Polio
- Rabies
- Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis
- Typhoid
- Yellow Fever
- Malaria Prophylaxis
