Travel Immunizations

Vaccines have a history dating back more than 200 years ago when Edward Jenner created the first vaccine in 1796 to battle a once very common and deadly disease, smallpox.  Since then vaccines have been a continued effort to prevent/combat diseases and have saved countless lives.  Some diseases have been eliminated or were never endemic in the United States.  Some of the diseases have vaccines developed for them, but are not part of the routine recommended immunization schedule.  In other countries these diseases still exist or are endemic.  We offer "travel immunizations" to help protect our residents from disease when traveling to foreign countries and bringing them back into the United States.

  WHO WE CAN SEE: 

We are able to immunize all ages.  You do not need to be a Clay County resident.


  COST: 

Fees vary by immunization.  Click here for our Price List.

We also accept:

  • Medicaid- CDC and ACIP recommended immunizations are covered by Medicaid.  Special "travel immuniztions" are not.
  • Medicare for seasonal influenza (respiratory flu) and pneumonia immunizations only.

 

 INFORMATION YOU NEED PRIOR TO TRAVELING: 

Clay County Public Health Center has highly qualified, specially trained registered nurses to provide you with precise information and vaccines based on your destination.  We are a member of the International Society of Travel Medicine.  All information the nurses provide during the consult is obtained from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO).  These two organizations are constantly assessing current outbreaks in all regions worldwide to provide you with the most up-to-date information on disease outbreaks.  If you are going to require vaccines, allow 4 to 6 weeks prior to date of departure, except for completion of the Hepatitis A and/or B series, which can take up to 6 months.
