What our patients say
Frequently Asked Questions
What vaccines or medicines should I get before traveling to my destination?
It very much depends. At The Village Doctor we don’t just look up the answer on the CDC website. Your recommended travel medicine plan will be tailored to you and your particular travel plans.
How soon should I start getting my immunizations before travel?
It depends on your travel plans and the choice of vaccines. Bottom line, it pays to “forward plan” and schedule with us at least 6 weeks before travel.
What’s the difference between required and recommended immunizations?
Depending on your itinerary, some vaccines may be required by the destination country for entry. This is in consideration of the public health of the country in question. Examples of these vaccines include yellow fever, meningitis, and rarely, polio. In these cases, you will be required to provide proof of vaccination via an International Certificate of Vaccination, also referred to as a Yellow Card. However, typically vaccines are not required but will be recommended by your doctor to protect YOUR health.
Can you provide a Yellow Card?
Yes. All patients requiring a Yellow Card (International Certificate of Vaccination) will receive one at the close of their travel medicine visit at The Village Doctor.
Can I just walk in for an appointment?
No, you should schedule an appointment with your doctor. Plan to share your detailed itinerary, along with your vaccine history, when making the appointment so your doctor has time to prepare your comprehensive travel medicine plan.
