Frequently Asked Questions

What is required before the appointment?

To gain the most benefit out of your travel consultation,  please  come  fully prepared.     You should bring your itinerary, including all countries you plan to visit, duration of stay, planned activities, immunization records   and/or proof of immunity (titers) if available.

How far in advance to come in?

Most vaccines take time to become effective and  some vaccines must be given in a series over  a period  of days  or  sometimes weeks. Ideally,  set up  an appointment 4 to 6 weeks before  your  trip.  Shorter  time  spans  are acceptable.  Make a travel  appointment  as    soon  as  you  know your itinerary so we can discuss your needs.   

Will medical insurance cover travel visit and vaccinations?

Please be aware that your medical insurance will  not  cover  travel  consultations  and vaccinations in preparation for travel, so be prepared to pay for your visit and vaccinations at the time of your visit. Travel consultations vary in  price  depending  upon the number of vaccines you will be getting. However we will  provide you with a detailed super bill that you can  submit  to  your  insurance  company  for reimbursement to you. We do accept Discover, Visa, Mastercard and American Express.

All Travel Consultations are separate visits and cannot be combined with any other type of office visits.
