The Livingston County Health Department is here to help you have the safest, healthiest travels.

Foreign Travel

Traveling to foreign destinations can present health hazards. Those hazards may be unique to the destination or common to most. An individual's health may also impact the risk of foreign travel. The World Health Organization (WHO) advises travelers to consult with a travel clinic four to six weeks before departure if the travel destination is one where exposure to any vaccine-preventable diseases may occur.

Immunizations are not only essential to keeping one safe when travelling to a new country, it is often required for entry and/or return. 

Services

You will receive pre-travel counseling and the appropriate immunizations for your destination to ensure you only bring back souvenirs and memories. Recommendations for immunizations are individualized based on each traveler's age, medical history, past immunizations, and specific travel plans.

Travel Immunization Form

Please note that travel immunizations sometimes require multiple doses with a time lapse between each dose, so don't wait until the last minute to begin your vaccination series. 

If you are getting travel immunizations, it is recommended to start at least four weeks before traveling outside the United States. Thus, we recommend you schedule your appointment as soon as you can prior to traveling.
