Vaccines
Travel vaccines are available at Student Health Service. Appointments are scheduled after completion of the Travel Consultation. Vaccines are an additional cost that will be charged to the student or employee account. Vaccination appointments should be scheduled 2 months prior to traveling, allowing ample time for necessary vaccines. Two weeks prior to your departure, you will need to have completed all necessary vaccinations. Certain countries suggest tuberculosis testing 3 months after returning from the visit. This can be done at SHS, for a nominal fee.

Other Travel Clinics
Travel Clinics listed are for local (Delaware) appointments. See the CDC website for clinics near where you live.
