Travel Health
Patient First provides travel health services to help patients prepare for international travel at designated travel centers, which are listed below.
When you visit a Patient First travel center for international travel health services, please bring your travel itinerary as well as your vaccination records with you. We will review this information, assess your medical history, and determine which vaccinations and/or prescriptions you will need to prevent infectious diseases or other conditions during your travels based on Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines.
Prescriptions to prevent malaria and altitude sickness will be written at travel centers after determination of the need for them, but prescriptions for motion sickness are available at any Patient First center or via Telehealth.
While routine vaccinations are available at all Patient First centers, the shingles and varicella (chickenpox) vaccines are limited to some centers, and only the travel centers carry the vaccine for typhoid. Currently, no Patient First centers carry the yellow fever vaccine. For a complete list of the routine vaccines offered at Patient First, and a list of centers where the shingles and varicella vaccines are available, please visit our Immunizations page by clicking here.
