Based on availability, travel vaccination appointments are scheduled between 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays.
All travel vaccinations include an initial consultation to review which vaccinations are needed prior to your travel, as well as general health and safety guidelines (such as food and water concerns) pertinent to each country you are planning to visit. Appropriate vaccinations and medication prescriptions are generally provided at the time of your initial consultation. As some travel vaccinations require multiple visits and/or time for your body to build immunity, it is recommended that you schedule your appointment at least one month prior to travel.

Traveler’s Diarrhea
In areas with poor hygiene, it is important to avoid tap water, including ice, and foods that have not been personally peeled. Despite appropriate precautions, unfortunately, bacterial infections causing diarrhea are common. Additional information regarding traveler’s diarrhea is available from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Altitude Illness
Altitude illness is characterized by headache, shortness of breath, and light-headedness. Risk factors include: fast ascent (greater than 3,000 feet per day), altitude greater than 6,000 feet, strenuous activity at high altitude, and a previous history of altitude illness. The best way to prevent altitude illness is a slow ascent. Overexertion during the first few days and excess dietary salt should be avoided. Altitude illness can occasionally be very severe and may require prompt medical attention. Additional information regarding altitude illness is available from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
