Required and recommended immunizations based on your itinerary, personal history of immunizations, and planned activities during your trip
-
Official International Certificate of Vaccination (upon request)
-
Prescriptions to prevent malaria, altitude illness and treat travelers’ diarrhea, as appropriate

Travel Consultations
Travel consultations are ideally scheduled for 6 to 8 weeks prior to traveling, and no more than 6 months in advance as information may not be current by the time travel occurs. Travel consultations are by appointment only (see right column for details). There is a charge for the consultation, in addition to charges for immunizations and medications. See sample fees.
Travel consultations are available in person or by phone (students only). If traveling within 2 weeks, an in-person appointment is preferred so that necessary vaccines can be started as soon as possible. Please complete the Travel Intake Questionnaire (see below) and upload all available immunization records at least 1 day before your appointment.
Travel Intake Questionnaire
After you schedule your appointment, please complete the Travel Intake Questionnaire at least 1 day before your appointment. You will be asked to provide your medical history, immunization history, and details about your upcoming travel. Please be as accurate as possible when providing the dates of travel and countries (in the order you will be traveling). If there are any changes to your itinerary, please call the Travel Clinic as we may need to adjust the recommendations that will be provided.
