MyChart
The goal of our travel medicine clinic is to help you prepare for a safe and healthy overseas experience. When you visit us, you’ll meet with a travel medicine provider to discuss your destination and itinerary and identify any immunizations and/or tests that are recommended or required for your trip. You’ll also receive educational material specific to the countries you’ll be visiting, including current health risk information and travel advisories from the U.S. State Department. We’ll provide an international certificate of vaccination as approved by the World Health Organization and any prescriptions needed to prevent illnesses such as malaria, travelers’ diarrhea, or altitude sickness.
In order to be properly prepared for your trip, please visit our clinic at least six weeks before your planned departure, as some vaccine series require several weeks to complete and reach full effectiveness. Please bring your immunization record with you to your appointment.
We are able to accept walk-ins for both adult and pediatric COVID vaccinations. For all other types of appointments, we are not able to accommodate patients without an appointment. We also request that you avoid bringing children to the clinic unless they have their own scheduled appointment or need a COVID vaccination.
