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!

tell us if you plan on visiting multiple countries during your trip, because
you may require additional vaccinations.

to prevent an illness, such as malaria. Your physician will discuss all
potential health hazards for your trip abroad, as well as provide instructions
for keeping healthy while overseas.
