Vaccines

If possible, it is beneficial to your health to schedule an appointment 4 – 6 weeks before travel to give your body sufficient time to process any new vaccines.

The Travel Doctor staff monitors up-to-date information from the CDC, WHO, and US State Department to ensure you have the appropriate immunizations prior to your departure. Listed below are resources available to the public explaining international travel requirements and recommendations.
