This clinic is temporarily closed due to a nursing shortage.
The International Travel Immunization Clinic provides vaccines recommended or required for international travel to children and adults. Registered
nurses advise clients based on Centers for Disease Control recommendations and administer all necessary vaccines.
Prescriptions for malaria medication are not provided, although printed recommendations for malaria prophylaxis are given. This prescription must be
obtained from a private physician.

Cost
Charges for vaccines vary (see attached price list). Payment must be made by check or cash at the time of the visit. An itemized receipt is provided for submission by the patient to insurance
providers if charges are covered.
