Travel Clinic
Our Travel Clinic offers a full range of services for patients traveling to exotic and not so exotic destinations.
Visit the CDC website. Choose the country you want to travel and then see what precautions and immunizations are recommended for the country or countries you plan to visit.
Our TRAVEL CLINIC always follows the recommendations made by the CDC with regards to safety and immunizations.
Be sure to plan far enough in advance so that you can receive all of the immunizations recommended for the country you will be visiting.
The principle behind a vaccine or immunization is to expose your body's system to the disease after it has been rendered harmless. By doing so, the body can build up its own natural protection so that if it encounters the virus, the body will be "immune" to its effects.
This immunization effect takes time, so it is a good idea to give your body at least a month head start to condition itself before getting on the plane or boat.


Immunizations
Your immunizations should be documented in an International Certificate of Vaccination (Yellow Card). It is a good idea to keep this Certificate with your passport so you don't misplace it.
It is recognized internationally and may be required before entry to certain countries. Not every doctor or clinic has this certificate; ONLY those approved by the US and CDC!
So call and ask first before you make your move!
VACCINES YOU ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE BEFORE YOU TRAVEL
According to Center of Disease Control and World Health Organization (WHO) requirements>

The Immunization Practices Advisory Committee of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that all persons be up-to-date on routine immunizations, regardless of travel plans.
Tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis, MMR, and polio vaccines is customarily given in childhood. as an adult, some may be required as an adult based on the country you are planning to visit.
