Travel Consultations

Travel consultations are ideally booked at least 6 weeks prior to departure date but due to the limited number of appointments available, you may want to call sooner. All travel consultations will begin with a phone visit. Please upload all available immunization records to your patient portal before your appointment. The Yellow Fever vaccine is still unavailable at UHS and will require a referral to the SF Department of Public Health (AITC). However, these appointments will be limited.
