What shots do I need to go to                       ?
 

This is a question Passport Health is uniquely qualified to answer. Our goal is to educate you on not just the vaccines you may need, but about all of the risks you may encounter. Disease, illness, crime and injury happen unexpectedly even to the most experienced traveler.
 
We use a variety of resources, including the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), World Health Organization (WHO) and the US Department of State so we can stay abreast of the latest developments in travel medicine and safe travel.
 
For the international traveler it is important to note there are both recommended and required vaccines. Recommended vaccines are intended to protect travelers from illness in other parts of the world and to prevent the importation of infectious diseases into the United States. Required vaccines, such as Yellow Fever, are vaccines the country you are visiting requires for entrance. They do not want you to import these infectious diseases.  

 

No matter where you are traveling, you should know that you will be exposed to certain organisms that could make you severely ill; perhaps even kill you. As a new or even experienced international traveler you should be educated about the environment you'll be visiting. Ideally, you should schedule your appointment with a Passport Health Travel Medicine Specialist 4-6 weeks prior to your departure date. However, we will always accommodate last minute travelers.

As a one-stop travel medicine clinic, Passport Health carries all travel vaccines necessary to protect you on your vacation, safari, mission trip, study abroad semester, business trip, or inter-country adoption. We can also provide antimalarial and antidiarrheal medications. And, with our variety of hard-to-find travel products in stock, you will be fully prepared for whatever challenges arise during your journey.
