Travel Health

All Med-Ped Health Care clinics are registered travel vaccine clinics, we provide travel vaccination and consultation at low cost. If you are traveling out of the country, you might also need vaccinations or prevention medicine. Which ones you need, it will depend on what part of the world you’re visiting, the time of the year, your age, overall health status and previous immunizations. Traveling can increase your chances of getting sick. It takes your body time to adjust to the water, food and air in another place. Water in developing countries can contain viruses, bacteria and parasites that cause stomach upset and diarrhea. Be safe by using only bottled or purified water for drinking, making ice cubes and brushing your teeth. If you use tap water, boil it or use iodine tablets.

Our board certified physicians will provide comprehensive health care that includes consultation and immunization services; after checking your current health and ask about your medical history and knowing your destination the physician will offer appropriate vaccines (according to CDC Guidelines) and optimum and up to date health information for your travel needs (such as insect precautions and insect repellents, Anti-Malarial, water and food precautions, current outbreaks and health safety measures).

International travelers should make sure that these vaccinations are up to date and that no boosters are required, since many conditions which are rare in the U.S. due to immunity in the general population may be more common in other countries. If You Are Planning a Vacation, Call or Visit One of Our Walk-in Clinic to Get Your Travel Vaccination Consultation. We accept appointments for travel vaccination with minimal to no waiting.
