Modesto CA Vaccines-Travel Medicine at AFC Urgent Care
If you are planning a trip overseas or across the border, it is important to have a medical professional review your vaccination history. Vaccinations in the United States are recommended to patients based on the diseases a person has a moderate to high chance of developing inside the country. Other countries contain diseases that are not often seen in America, which is why most people are not vaccinated for them.
What Vaccinations Will I Need?
Recommended travel vaccinations vary depending on where you are traveling. Our physicians are familiar with what vaccinations are important for various countries and can provide you with a comprehensive list. Be sure to mention if you plan on traveling to multiple countries during your travels— the more places you go, the more vaccinations you may need.

AFC Urgent Care FAQs
-
What travel vaccines does AFC Modesto offer?
AFC Modesto offers travel vaccines and preventive medications for destinations worldwide including: yellow fever, typhoid, hepatitis A and B, Japanese encephalitis, rabies, meningococcal vaccines, and antimalarial medications. Recommended vaccines depend on your destination and travel plans.
-
When should I get travel vaccines before my trip?
Plan ahead! Some travel vaccines require multiple doses spaced weeks apart, and others take time to build immunity. Ideally, schedule your travel vaccination appointment 4-6 weeks before your trip. However, we can often provide vaccines with shorter notice. Call (209) 846-3442 as soon as you know your travel dates.
-
Do I need travel vaccines for all destinations?
Not all destinations require travel vaccines. Recommended vaccines depend on where you're traveling, how long you'll be there, and the activities you'll be doing. Our providers will assess your travel plans and recommend appropriate vaccinations. Call us to discuss your specific destination.
-
Are travel vaccines covered by insurance?
Coverage varies by insurance plan. Some plans cover travel vaccines, while others classify them as non-covered preventive services. We accept most major insurance plans and can verify your coverage. Uninsured patients receive affordable cash pay rates for travel vaccines.
-
What else should I do to stay healthy while traveling?
In addition to vaccines, we recommend: practicing good hand hygiene, being careful with food and water, using insect repellent in mosquito-prone areas, and carrying travel health supplies. Our providers can provide comprehensive travel health guidance during your consultation.
Don't wait to get the medical attention you need.
