Travel Medicine and Travel Vaccinations in the Philadelphia, PA, Metro Area | AFC Urgent Care
Get Vaccinated For Your Trip Abroad
Travel clinics are focused on preventative care and disease treatment for patients traveling abroad. Whether you are taking a short vacation, backpacking in Europe, visiting Thailand or studying abroad, it is strongly recommended that you see a travel clinic and receive updated vaccinations. Some countries even require you to be vaccinated for certain diseases before you enter the country.
When you travel abroad, you should have a medical professional review your vaccination history and provide insight into other ways to protect your health outside the United States. In the US, we vaccinate for diseases common in our country. However, other countries have other diseases that are uncommon in the US, so we are not usually vaccinated for them.
