Schedule an Appointment
Many of the diseases that have been eliminated in the United States are still common in other parts of the world. When traveling outside the United States, it is important to ensure your health is protected. In addition to providing specific vaccines needed based on your destination, such as yellow fever and typhoid, the health department also provides prescriptions for anti-malaria medicine and critical information on general safety issues, travel alerts, and health information from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
As soon as you know you will be traveling outside the U.S., visit the Travelers’ Health website. Prior to making an appointment, this will help you have an idea of what type of vaccines may be required or recommended for your travel. Additionally, when you call to schedule your travel appointment with one of our travel clinics located in Bartow or Lakeland, the travel nurses can answer any questions you may have to help you identify what vaccines may be needed before you travel.
It can take several weeks or months to complete the series of vaccinations, so you should call well ahead of your planned departure date. Travel vaccination visits are by appointment only. No walk-ins for these visits.
Travel vaccination visits require a $40 visit fee. Most travel vaccinations may also have fees associated with them. When you call to schedule your appointment, you can ask about the fees before your visit. We take most forms of payment. Travel appointments can take approximately up to one hour for the visit. Please fill out the Travel Vaccine Questionnaire before your and bring it to your appointment with you.
