Travel Medicine and Vaccination Information

Though we are well equipped to handle your child’s regular Well Child Care and Vaccines, there are several other vaccines and medications for traveling abroad. Below are several resources to help you with your travel needs. Please check with your insurance before you go to a travel clinic, as you will be responsible for all travel clinic charges.

Public Health Department: Seattle, Northshore

At both sites, patients must have a Nurse Practitioner visit, not just a general nurse visit, for Malaria prophylaxis or any prescriptions. Nurse Practitioners are not there everyday. The general nurse can give vaccines any day but cannot prescribe medications. Cost is $40 per person by appointment only.
