Because several weeks may be required to complete a needed vaccine series, we recommend the initial appointment be held at least 4 weeks before departure. You should telephone for an appointment two weeks before that, if possible. When this is not possible, we will meet your travel health needs as completely as the time we have allows.

The consultation includes:

  • Country-by-country analysis of your itinerary, anticipated activities, and review of previous immunizations to develop an individualized plan.
  • Advice on malaria prophylaxis and needed prescriptions. Prescriptions are filled at the traveler's expense. Rubenstein Pharmacy at Hall Health is available for travel prescriptions
  • Information and prescriptions for medications to help prevent or treat illnesses while traveling.
  • Don't Get Confused or Lost!

    Please note there are two different travel clinics located at the UW.

    We (UW Travel Clinic) are located on Upper Campus in Hall Health, across from the HUB.
