Travel Health

If you will be traveling to a foreign country in the coming months, the LCU Medical Clinic can help you prepare for your trip by researching your destination and gathering the information you need to ensure your trip is successful. It is very important to check your immunization history to make certain you are up to date on all routine immunizations. Other possible medical needs may include prescriptions, such as preventive medicines for malaria, motion sickness, or altitude sickness.

If possible, make your appointment several weeks or months before your trip. The World Health Organization (WHO) advises travelers "...to consult a travel medicine clinic or personal physician 4-6 weeks before departure if the travel destination is one where exposure to any vaccine-preventable diseases may occur."
