Travel Health Services
The pre-travel consultation provides a guide to prioritize and customize pre-travel health care for individual travelers. The goal of this pre-travel consultation is to effectively and efficiently prepare you with the information, vaccinations, and medications to reduce the risk of illness and injury related to travel.
Because of the possible need to complete a series of vaccinations, some of which require multiple injections, the pre-travel visit ideally should occur 4–6 weeks before travel. Travelers who are not able to seek care during this time, however, will also benefit from visiting a health care provider, as last- minute vaccinations and travel advice could be useful.
The following vaccines are frequently recommended when traveling internationally. Not all vaccines are recommended for every country. Your pharmacist will be able to determine which vaccines you will need based on your itinerary. The traveler may also need additional routine vaccines that are recommended in addition to travel vaccinations.
- Hepatitis A
- Hepatitis B
- Polio
- Rabies
- Japanese Encephalitis
- Yellow Fever
- Typhoid
- Influenza
- Meningococcal
