Schedule an appointment with us as soon as you know you’ll be traveling internationally; some immunizations require more than one shot spread over a period of time, and others require time before travel to be most effective.

We do NOT bill insurance for travel vaccines.

Please check with your insurance provider to determine if they will reimburse any cost to you. When calling your insurance company, you can reference the CPT code from the PDF below for each immunization you may need.
