Pre-departure Health

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 

Prior to departure, all travelers should review the health information available on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website for each country they plan to visit.  
 

International travel consultation, immunizations and vaccinations 

Discuss your upcoming travel, CDC information and any concerns with your doctor or a travel medical professional. Make sure to discuss any necessary immunizations, vaccinations or prophylactic medicine you may need for your trip. If you are taking other medication, discuss this with your doctor as well and ensure that your prescriptions line up with your travel plans so you have enough prescription medication for your entire trip plus 10 days. 

Set up a consultation well in advance of departure. Some immunizations require a series of appointments and many prophylactic medications must be started prior to travel in order to be effective. 

Travel to countries with requirements or recommendations for yellow fever vaccine

Yellow fever virus is found in tropical and subtropical areas in Africa and South America. Yellow fever vaccination may be recommended or required for entry into certain countries. Travelers should schedule an appointment 4-6 weeks prior to travel. Be sure to ask for comprehensive cost information when scheduling the appointment.

Travel consultation at the Wilce Student Health Center

Student travel consultations are available at the Wilce Student Health Center on the Columbus campus. Faculty and staff may also inquire about appointments and availability at the Wilce Student Health Center.
