Travel Medicine Services
Whether you're traveling a small distance to Mexico or clear around the world to China, international travel creates special health needs. The UW Medicine Issaquah Clinic is there to help you with those needs. From unique vaccinations to simple tips on how to protect your health and safety in a foreign country, the UW Medicine Issaquah Travel Clinic can assist you.
When you schedule a travel appointment at our clinic, you will speak to a trained medical professional who will:
- Discuss health and safety issues based on your individual needs and destination.
- Discuss and administer recommended vaccinations.
- Write prescriptions for recommended medications (such as anti-malarials or traveler's diarrhea treatment).
- Provide a pocket booklet of information you can take with you for quick reference while on vacation.
To ensure a timely appointment, please call the UW Medicine Issaquah clinic four to six weeks ahead of your planned departure date whenever possible. If you have past immunization records, please bring them to your travel clinic visit.
We will be happy to bill your insurance, but many insurance companies do not cover travel medicine. Please contact your insurance company prior to your visit to ask about coverage.
You do not need to be a regular patient at the UW Medicine Issaquah Clinic to use the travel medicine service.
Please call 425-391-3900 for an appointment.
