Personalized Travel Protection Plans
No two destinations carry the same health risks, so no two travel vaccine plans are the same. During your travel consultation we assess your full itinerary and stopovers, length of stay, urban versus rural travel, country-specific requirements, and your current health and vaccination history. We follow CDC and WHO guidance to build a travel health plan that is appropriate and correctly timed for your departure.
Travel Vaccines We Commonly Administer
Our NYC travel clinic provides the full range of recommended travel immunizations:
Yellow fever, with the official International Certificate
Typhoid, oral or injectable
Hepatitis A and B
Tetanus and Tdap boosters
Rabies, pre-exposure series
Japanese encephalitis and polio booster
Meningococcal, for Sub-Saharan Africa or Hajj travel
MMR, varicella, COVID-19, and seasonal influenza
Some travel vaccines are required for entry, while others are recommended based on regional risk. Your provider reviews which vaccinations are necessary and which are optional for your trip.
When Should I Book My Travel Vaccine Appointment?
Schedule your travel vaccinations 4 to 6 weeks before departure. That window lets your body build immunity, allows multi-dose vaccines like Hepatitis B or Japanese encephalitis to be completed, and gives time to start preventive medication such as malaria prophylaxis. Traveling sooner? We offer expedited appointments and accelerated schedules for last-minute travelers.
Who Needs Travel Vaccinations?
Travel vaccines are often mandatory for parts of Africa, Asia, South America, and the Middle East, and many trips to Europe, Central America, or the Caribbean carry specific advisories. We regularly help tourists heading to rural or tropical areas, study-abroad students, business travelers, medical and humanitarian volunteers, families visiting relatives abroad, and pilgrims traveling for Hajj. Each consultation is built around the purpose and conditions of your travel.
Beyond Vaccines: Full Travel Health Preparation
Vaccines are one part of staying safe abroad. Our travel medicine services also include malaria prevention and antimalarial prescriptions, motion sickness and altitude guidance, traveler's diarrhea prevention, insect-bite protection, and official letters for customs, schools, or employers.Heading to the continent? Our guide on the vaccinations you need for travel to Africa covers what is required, what is recommended, and when to get each shot.
Care Led by Dr. Xequiel Hernandez
“I'm not telling you not to use the internet or AI to research your trip. But if you're asking whether something is safe, or what your next step should be, run it by somebody in medicine you can trust. That's what we're here for, to give you an answer and a direction before you travel.”
Dr. Xequiel Hernandez, MD, Family Medicine, MR Primary Care
Dr. Hernandez is board-certified in family medicine and fluent in English and Spanish. Our full team of physicians and physician assistants sees patients at both locations. Meet the full care team.
Insurance & Pricing
Most travel vaccinations are elective and are not covered by standard health insurance. We offer transparent, upfront self-pay pricing, competitive vaccine and consultation rates, and itemized receipts for HSA, FSA, or out-of-network reimbursement. Our staff reviews expected costs before your visit.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How far in advance should I get travel vaccinations?
Book 4 to 6 weeks before departure. Some travel vaccines need multiple doses, and your immune system needs time to respond. We can work with tighter timelines when needed.
What countries require proof of vaccines?
Countries in South America and Sub-Saharan Africa may require a yellow fever certificate, and Saudi Arabia requires meningococcal vaccination for Hajj pilgrims. We guide you through the exact requirements for your itinerary.
Are travel vaccines safe?
Yes. Every vaccine we administer is FDA-approved and clinically appropriate. We review your health history first, especially if you are pregnant or immunocompromised.
What if I already had vaccines years ago?
We review your records and check what is still valid. Some vaccines offer lifelong immunity; others need a booster. A blood test can confirm immunity when your records are incomplete.
Do you provide certificates or travel forms?
Yes. We issue official documentation accepted at customs, embassies, universities, and workplaces. If your trip also needs an immigration physical, we handle that too.
Can children get travel vaccines?
Yes. We offer pediatric travel vaccinations and adjust each plan based on age, weight, and exposure risk.
