How to prepare for your appointment

The travel medicine appointment will be more productive when you take time to prepare in advance. It’s important to make the initial appointment at least two to four weeks before your departure because it can take the body up to four weeks to develop antibodies after most travel vaccines. In general, the further out from travel you receive your vaccines, the better.

When it is time for your appointment, please plan to bring:

A complete itinerary identifying each stop on your schedule, length of airport layovers, length of stay, activities and accommodations for each area of planned activity.
Your immunization record including childhood and military vaccines. If you’ve been vaccinated for yellow fever, bring your original International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP) documentation.
A list of your current prescriptions and over-the-counter medications.
Allergies.
Your health history including the current status of chronic health conditions and pregnancy.
Special needs or concerns.

Why invest in travel counseling?

Prevea’s Travel Medicine program is dedicated to making sure you have the recommended travel immunizations and medications, as well as helpful advice, so you can stay healthy and safe abroad. You’ll receive the most accurate, up-to-date recommendations for your safety and well-being. Our physicians and providers will suggest specific immunizations based on your itinerary and personal health history, and then you can decide which ones you’d like to receive.

Travel immunizations we offer include, but aren’t limited to:
