Covering Your Travel Clinic FAQs

Even if your child is current on their routine immunizations, travel to another country may require additional protection. Diseases like yellow fever, typhoid, or Japanese encephalitis aren’t typically part of the standard vaccine schedule in the U.S., but they can be a concern in certain destinations.

A travel clinic visit helps make sure that your child gets destination-specific recommendations. That way you can leave feeling confident you’ve covered every health requirement before your trip.

Our certified travel clinic offers both standard and travel-specific immunizations tailored to your itinerary. We take into account your destination, the time of year, and your child’s age and health status before making recommendations. Some vaccines are designed to prevent illnesses common in certain regions, while others simply update existing protections for added peace of mind.

We may recommend:

  • Yellow fever
  • Typhoid
  • Hepatitis A and B
  • Meningococcal
  • Japanese encephalitis
  • Routine updates like MMR, polio, or Tdap

By customizing the list to your trip, we make sure you get exactly what you need, nothing more and nothing less, so you can travel with confidence.

We recommend scheduling your travel clinic visit at least four-to-six weeks before your departure date. This gives us time to complete the multi-dose vaccine series if needed and allows your child’s immune system to build up full protection before traveling. It also leaves space for any follow-up appointments or additional health preparations.

If your trip is right around the corner, don’t worry; we can still offer last-minute vaccines, prescriptions, and essential travel health guidance to help keep your family safe on the go. Even a quick visit is better than heading off without protection.

Absolutely. Our travel clinic services are open to the public, so you don’t need to be an established patient with us to get the care you need. We welcome families from across the community who are preparing for overseas travel.

All we ask is that you call ahead before your visit. Some travel-specific vaccines, such as yellow fever, may need to be pre-ordered to guarantee availability. By confirming in advance, we can have everything ready for your appointment and make the process smooth from start to finish.

Our goal is to prepare you for a safe, healthy, and stress-free trip. Along with providing necessary immunizations, we’ll offer guidance and resources to help you navigate potential health challenges while abroad. We tailor our advice to your destination and travel style, so every tip is relevant and practical for your family.

You’ll also receive:

  • Food and water safety tips
  • Insect bite prevention strategies
  • Advice on managing time zone changes and jet lag
  • Guidance on packing a family-friendly travel health kit

When you leave our clinic, you’ll have a complete health plan that covers prevention, safety, and comfort.
