It's important for the travel nurse to have all the information below to better understand your travel needs:

  • Full itinerary (including all cities or locations you will be visiting)

  • Medical history
  • Current medications
  • Vaccine history (access records on your smartphone via Docket)

If you are late or do not have the items below completed at least 24 hours before your visit, you will need to reschedule your appointment.

There is a $20 cancellation fee (for each scheduled client) for missed appointments and cancellations within 24 hours of an appointment.

  1. Check your email for an appointment reminder and a link to our Travel Form.
  2. Fully complete the Travel Form at least 24 hours before your appointment.
    EACH PERSON BEING SEEN must complete the form. (If you have appointments for four people in your group, you need to complete the form separately for all four people.)

Travel Clinic Locations

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.
