Immunization requirements
Immunization schedules and requirements
Immunizations prevent diseases at all ages. Immunizations not only protect you from many infectious diseases, they also protect those who are unable to be immunized. Making sure young children are immunized is especially important. Anyone who is not immunized is more susceptible to dangerous and sometimes deadly diseases.

Travel immunizations
Plan ahead
Planning travel to other countries? It is recommended that you receive travel immunizations (vaccines) to protect yourself from disease that may exist in other parts of the world. To determine what travel immunizations are needed you should schedule a travel consultation. Schedule travel consultations at least 1-3 months prior to your scheduled departure. Some immunizations take up to six months to complete the entire series. Ask your regular doctor or clinic if they offer travel consultations.
