Travel Vaccines

YES-WE ARE A YELLOW FEVER CENTER!
YES-WE OFFER ORAL TYPHOID VACCINE!

A growing number of travelers–over 40 million people from industrialized to developing countries each year–are at risk for vaccine-preventable diseases. At higher risk are adventure travelers including scuba divers, back country trekkers and hikers, visitors to rural areas and wild game parks, and those living in communal accommodations such as youth hostels.

It is important to get the latest health information for your travel destination.  The time of the year, local health alerts and existing local disease outbreaks will determine the vaccines you should get prior to travel. For example, the rainy season in Southeast Asia may contribute to a contaminated water supply making it important to get a Hepatitis A vaccine before going there.  Experimenting with local raw or undercooked  food anywhere can expose a traveler to Typhoid.

Adult Immunizations

Booster shots for adults are a way to protect yourself from diseases found overseas and in the US.  It is important to know what vaccines you had as a child and if you have received any in recent years. HealthSmartVaccines can advise you on which vaccines you may want to consider whether for travel or general good health.
