Why schedule a consultation at our travel clinic before your trip?

Millions of US residents travel abroad each year, but only a few receive the recommended immunizations prior to departure!

Receiving recommended immunizations will help keep you and your travel companions healthy during your trip.

The specially-trained pharmacists at our clinic can help you prepare for an upcoming trip by reviewing your travel itinerary and providing personalized recommendations based on your destinations.

Our pharmacies use a database that is updated daily with information from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

In-depth travel consultations are also available at our travel clinic for $35 per session.

We recommend a one-on-one consultation if you are a novice international traveler, if you are traveling to rural or remote areas, or if you will be traveling for at least 14 days.

We accept most major insurance plans and offer competitive pricing with other local pharmacies, physician offices, and health departments.

Many preventative vaccines are covered by prescription insurance plans, but some travel vaccines are not. We will attempt to bill all recommended vaccines and provide you with a price quote before you receive the service.

Who should have a travel consultation?

We serve all types of patients!

Individuals and families

Mission trip volunteers

Students traveling or studying abroad

Routine vaccinations

Consultations and vaccinations are available at our clinic by appointment.

When should I schedule my appointment?

We recommend scheduling your personal consultation as soon as your travel itinerary is set.

Although most vaccines become effective in one to two weeks, some require multiple doses and up to six months to be fully effective!

Most travelers should have a consultation at least 4 to 6 weeks before departure.

What information will I receive during a one-on-one travel consultation?

General health consultation

Our pharmacists will review your health history, vaccine history, trip itinerary, and general precautionary measures based on your destination

Our travel health specialists will provide you with relevant information based on your travel destinations, including:

Malaria and dengue fever prevention

Food and water-borne illnesses

Parasitic infection prevention

General preventive measures to stay healthy while traveling

Custom report of immunizations recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) based on your travel destination

Prescription consultation to prevent diseases that you may be exposed to during your trip, such as malaria or traveler’s diarrhea.

We will work with your primary care provider to obtain all appropriate prescriptions needed.

Travel supplies

From the common (sunscreen, travel-sized products, first aid kits, insect repellant) to the uncommon (mosquito netting, water purification tablets), our travel clinic pharmacists can recommend a variety of products to promote safe and healthy travels!

Which travel vaccines are available?

Most vaccines are available for order within one business day. We routinely stock many of the following immunizations:

Hepatitis A
