Ken Caryl Vaccines-Travel Medicine at AFC Urgent Care

Get Immunized Before Traveling to a Foreign Country

If you are planning a trip outside of the U.S., it’s important to check if you’ll need any vaccinations for your destination. Certain destinations have particularly high incidences of specific illnesses or diseases not often seen in America, such as polio or yellow fever. Travel medicine focuses on keeping you healthy while in a foreign country, particularly if it’s a developing country, where certain diseases which are rare in the U.S. are still common.

Don’t let a preventable illness disrupt your vacation or delay planned activities. Come to AFC Urgent Care Ken Caryl, CO to get vaccinated before your trip!
