Travel clinic

Visit our clinic location page for scheduling information.

Text

Our travel clinic offers international travel consultations, immunizations and care to help stop travel-related injuries and illnesses. We provide complete travel medicine services for patients age 18 and older.

We suggest you schedule your vaccination appointment six to eight weeks before your departure. In most cases, we can schedule a travel medicine appointment and immunizations the same day or the next business day.

Please remember that most travel vaccines should be completed at least 14 days before you travel.

Some immunizations may take as long as four to six weeks to complete, so make your appointment as soon as possible.
