AFC Urgent Care FAQs
-
How soon before I travel should I get vaccinated?
It's important to get vaccinated at least 4 to 6 weeks before you travel. This time frame will give the vaccines time to start working, so you're protected while away from home. It will also usually ensure there’s enough time for you to get fully vaccinated for those that require more than 1 dose.
-
What diseases should I be vaccinated for?
The vaccines you need to get before traveling will depend on a few things, including where you plan to travel, your health, and what vaccines you’ve already had. Your local AFC medical professional can advise you on what you may need and when.
-
Will my insurance cover travel medicine?
Some plans do, and some don't, so it's important to check with your insurance provider. AFC centers offer affordable services that are often far less expensive than a visit to a doctor’s office or emergency room.
