International Travel Clinic

Traveling overseas? Make an investment in protecting your health!

Monongalia County Health Department offers travel exams and immunizations for international travel and immigration. Dr. Lee B. Smith, MCHD executive director and county health officer, provides physical exams with pre-travel counseling and education. Prescriptions, for malaria and traveler’s diarrhea for example, are also available with the travel exam. Refer to the CDC Travelers' Health page for the most up-to-date information on recommended vaccines for travelers. MCHD offers a variety of travel vaccines at cost, plus an administration fee. There is no prescription required. Separate immunization appointments are also available.
When traveling abroad, planning is very important. Appointments with the travel clinic should be made well in advance, at least 4-6 weeks prior to your departure.
Bring a copy of your immunization record, and the International Certificate of Vaccination, if you have one.
