Consultation with Healthcare Provider Before Travel

Before embarking on your journey, a consultation with our healthcare providers is crucial. This consultation allows us to recommend vaccinations tailored to your destination, duration of stay, and activities planned. Our aim is to ensure your health is protected wherever you go.

Vaccination Requirements for Specific Destinations

Different destinations may have specific vaccination requirements or recommendations. For instance, Yellow Fever vaccination may be mandatory for entry into certain countries. Our travel clinic is equipped to provide you with up-to-date advice and vaccinations required for your travels.

Cost of Travel Vaccinations

While the cost of travel vaccinations can vary depending on the vaccine and the number needed, at CurisRx Pharmacy, we strive to provide affordable care. Direct insurance billing for vaccinations is available, and we are committed to transparently discussing all costs and insurance coverage options with you.

Schedule for Receiving Travel Vaccinations

It's essential to plan your vaccinations well in advance of your travel date. Some vaccinations require a series of doses spread over weeks or months, and full immunity may take time to develop.
