What travel vaccines does the Travel Vaccination Clinic of New York recommend before going on a trip?
The Travel Vaccination Clinic of New York does not have a predetermined list of vaccines that one should get before going on a trip. Determining which travel vaccinations are suitable for you require a thorough analysis of the traveler’s destination, itinerary, personal medical history, and previous immunization records. It is for this very reason that a travel consultation is recommended in order fully evaluate all these important factors before getting vaccinated.
How far in advance it’s suggested by the Travel Vaccine Center NY to get travel vaccinations?
Our doctor at the Travel Vaccine Center NY recommends patients to get all travel vaccines 4-6 weeks prior their trip. If you have less time than the recommended time frame, you should still get a travel consultation, as worthwhile protection can still be obtained right up to the last minute, so never bypass a visit to your travel clinic and miss out on valuable protection because you think it’s too late to get travel vaccines.
Does the Travel Vaccination Clinic of New York accept health insurance for travel vaccines?
No. Health insurances consider that traveling is a personal choice and not a medical necessity; therefore any travel vaccination should be the traveler’s responsibility. Under certain circumstances, your insurer may cover for certain preventive medications (antimalarial or diarrheal medicine). After your visit at the Travel Vaccine Center NYC, we will provide you with an itemized receipt, which you can use to submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement. Be aware that getting reimbursed is not a guarantee and this process is between you and your insurance company, not with our travel clinic.
