LEARN MORE
There are many different reasons why people travel abroad. Companies require trips to out-of-country headquarters, students enroll in study abroad programs, or some simply want a sense of adventure. Traveling to a new country exposes you to a culture filled with interesting people, jaw-dropping tourist attractions, and authentic cuisines. The last thing you’d want to be exposed to is a travel-related illness or infection.
Why do I need vaccinations before traveling?
Depending on what country you’re visiting, you may get exposed to illnesses or infections that you wouldn’t normally be exposed to at home. This may cause severe symptoms that your body does not have any immunity to.
Some countries require visitors to be vaccinated before entering the country. This is especially true for countries in Africa and South America, as it’s highly recommended that you receive a yellow fever vaccination prior to visiting countries in these continents.

AFC Urgent Care FAQs
-
What vaccinations do you offer in your clinics?
We offer a wide range of common vaccinations for people of every age. For children six months and up, we can provide regular vaccines against diseases like hepatitis B, and PCV. For adults, we offer flu shots, and tetanus shots, shingles vaccines, and many more. Contact us and let us know which vaccine you need.
-
How do I know if I need a vaccine?
To discover which vaccinations you've received, look up your vaccination history. Your vaccination record is a comprehensive document that details the history of all of your vaccines as a youngster and as an adult. To access your vaccination record you can ask your family or doctor if they have your up to date report.
-
Is it safe to get my vaccinations from AFC instead of my regular doctor?
Yes, AFC offers several services that otherwise are made available only through an appointment at your doctor's office. Whether you need a regular checkup, vaccinations, or lab work, we're able to provide healthcare alongside your general practitioner, so you never need to go without the services you need.
