Frequently Asked Questions
When should I get my travel immunizations (vaccines)?
See your doctor or schedule an appointment with our Travel Immunization Clinic at least 4-6 weeks before your trip. It can take 2-3 weeks for the body to build up enough protection after getting the first dose of a vaccine. Some immunizations (vaccines) need to be given in more than one dose. You may need to come back to our clinic more than once to finish getting all the doses.
What travel immunizations (vaccines) should I get before my trip?
The type of travel immunizations you need depends on the countries or places you are planning to visit. Please check with your doctor and visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Travel webpage for more information on travel health and immunizations (vaccines).
