The primary function of the International Travel Program is to provide customized travel health consultations to individuals traveling abroad. Destination specific immunizations are administered and preventative medicine services are offered. Additionally, the latest health and safety recommendations issued by the Centers for Disease Control for each destination is provided.

We offer travel services for individual vacationers, business travelers, church groups and missionary teams. Services include immunizations, international certificate of vaccination, malaria prevention medication, and travel consultation. Consultations are with experienced nursing staff and include travel packets of reference information and the most current travel information from: the Centers for Disease Control (CDC); the World Health Organization (WHO); the US State Department and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).

To better serve you, we accept the following insurances:

Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) and UnitedHealthcare. If you have BCBS or UnitedHealthcare, you may be responsible for your deductible and/or co-payment at the time of service.

Aetna, Cigna and Medcost. Patients with these insurance plans will need to pay for their visit in full at the time of service. A claim will be filed on the patient’s behalf and if payment is received, the patient will receive a refund.

As a result of your clinic visit and if you are eligible, some travel medications may also be available for you at reduced costs from the Health Department Pharmacy. Please note that our Health Department Pharmacy does not accept insurance prescription cards.

Early Planning

Early planning for travel is the best prevention and protection against disease. Some immunizations are a 2 or 3 dose series that are given over a specific period of time. It is important to complete the series in order of have full protection against disease. It is best to allow at least three to six months for all necessary immunizations. Fees charged for travel services are competitive for this comprehensive, professional service. Cash, checks, and the above insurances are accepted. You do not have to be a Guilford County resident to be eligible for these services.

We are unable to offer consultations by phone; however, more information on recommended travel immunizations is available through the CDC’s Traveler’s Health website or by calling toll free 1-877-FYI-TRIP (1-877-394-8747). A toll-free fax number for requesting information is 888-232-3299.
