This is a separate appointment from your
Health Clearance! This means 2 different appointments!
Required
for Barbados, Brazil, China, Egypt, Ghana, India, Mexico, Philippines, Russia, South
Africa, Thailand, Turkey,
and Vietnam.
- Book
your appointment by going in
person to the peer
kiosk at SHS. At the kiosk, sign up in the EAP Health
Appointment Binder. There
are only a few assigned appointment days and times
for each country and they fill up quickly.
- The
travel clinic is designed to discuss the health risks
that you may face abroad and to obtain any immunizations
that you may need or want. Some immunizations need
to be started months before your departure date, which
is why it is important to stick to the designated travel
clinic dates for your country.
- Bring
an updated
list of prior immunizations that you have
had.
Your parent, doctor or last attended high school may
supply you with this information. If you do not bring
in your immunization records, you will be asked to
reschedule and fees will be applied.
- You
need to arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled time
to read over your personalized travel packet. This
helps prepare you for the ensuing discussion. If
you are late for this part of the appointment, you
may be asked to reschedule!
- When
you see the nurse s/he will review your immunization
history, and make recommendations for any boosters
needed.
- The
nurse will discuss the country-specific recommendations/requirements
with you and will allow you to ask any questions that
you have. Refer to the Traveler’s
Vaccine Information page for more information regarding
specific vaccines as well as useful health information
websites.
- Any
immunizations you choose to receive will probably be
started that day, and additional shots will be ordered
for you to receive through the Urgent Care Clinic on
a walk-in basis.
