Making an appointment:

You can fill out this form online. Please contact us 1-2 months before your trip. If you have less time than 1 month, we will try to make the necessary appointment arrangements, but it may not always be possible.

You can telephone the Call Center at (408) 362-4791. State that you will be travelling and request that a message be sent to the travel clinic nurse. Give the call center the names and medical record numbers of all travelers, the date of departure and date of return, and the travel itinerary.

You can also request an appointment by filling out a form at the travel clinic reception desk in Unit D. Please allow up to 3 business days for the travel clinic nurse to contact you to set up an appointment.

At your Appointment:

When you go to your appointment bring all immunization records that you have (childhood, military, school, immigration or international travel) and a copy of your itinerary.

At your appointment the travel clinic nurse will evaluate your medical history and your travel plans and decide with you what vaccines, malaria medications and travel advice you will need for a safe trip.

Important Notes:

We do not offer prescriptions for antibiotics, motion sickness or altitude illness. You may wish to discuss this with your personal care provider.

We do not provide post-travel evaluations, but if you should become ill upon your return, be sure to contact your personal care provider and mention your recent travels.

If you have a chronic medical condition, please make an appointment with your personal care provider before your trip as well as an appointment for travel clinic.

If you have an emergency medical condition, call 911 or go to the nearest hospital. When you have an emergency medical condition, we cover emergency care from Plan providers and non-Plan providers anywhere in the world.

An emergency medical condition is (1) a medical or psychiatric condition that manifests itself by acute symptoms of sufficient severity (including severe pain) such that you could reasonably expect the absence of immediate medical attention to result in serious jeopardy to your health or serious impairment or dysfunction of your bodily functions or organs; or (2) when you are in active labor and there isn't enough time for safe transfer to a Plan hospital before delivery, or if transfer poses a threat to your or your unborn child's health and safety.
