Travel Medicine and Travel Vaccinations in Rockville | American Family Care

Get Vaccinated For Your Trip Abroad

Travel clinics are focused on preventative care and disease treatment for patients traveling abroad. Whether you will be taking a short vacation, backpacking in Europe, visiting Thailand or studying abroad, it is strongly recommended that you visit a travel clinic and receive updated vaccinations.

When you are going to travel abroad, you should have a medical professional review your vaccination history and provide insight on other ways to protect your health while outside of the United States. In the US, we vaccinate for diseases common in our country. However, other countries have other diseases that are not common in the US, so we are not usually vaccinated for them.

AFC locations in Rockville carry travel medicine necessary to protect you, your family, employees and groups. Our travel health programs are cost-effective and convenient, providing one-stop destinations for your international travel medicine clinic needs. Don’t let a preventable illness disrupt your vacation or delay planned activities. No appointments are necessary at American Family Care! Simply walk in, and we’ll make sure you’re prepared for your travels. However, to guarantee timely vaccination before your trip, try to stop in 1-2 months before your date of travel to make sure that we have all of the vaccines you need. If the vaccine you need is not available at the time of your visit, we can refer you to a more specialized clinic to provide you the vaccine you need. We also offer prescriptions for medications to prevent certain diseases depending on where you plan to travel. Consider calling our clinic at 240-771-0801 to inquire more.
