Vaccines

Travel vaccines are available at Student Health Service. Vaccine appointments are scheduled after completion of the Travel Consultation. Vaccines are an additional cost that will be charged to the student’s or employee’s account. Vaccines currently not available at SHS are yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis and rabies. A list of travel health providers offering these vaccines is available.

Vaccination appointments should be scheduled 2 months before travel so that there is ample time to get all the vaccines needed. You need to have completed all of the immunizations at least two weeks prior to travel.

Certain countries suggest tuberculosis testing 3 months after returning from the visit. This can also be done at SHS, for a nominal fee.

Appointment Information

Travelers receiving medical care for any reason are reminded to inform their primary care practitioner about any recent foreign travel, vaccinations, or medications used.
