A Travel Health Visit appointment is required for clients who are preparing for international travel. Visits last 30-40 minutes. We recommend making the appointment for 4-6 weeks prior to your departure. However, we recognize that advance planning is not always possible. Call us for an appointment even if you are leaving tomorrow! Same-day appointments are usually available, especially for travelers with immediate departure dates. See Appointments...
A single fee for the Travel Health visit covers all services below. Vaccines are priced additionally. See Prices...
