Faculty and Staff who will be conducting business which requires international travel are provided pre-trip consultation to develop an individual plan to maintain health and prevent illness and injury during the trip.

Based on a Pre-travel survey, a trip risk assessment is formulated and a customized prevention plan implemented.  This includes:

  • Destination specific vaccinations
  • Medical travel kit
  • Travel safety tips

Many vaccinations require a few weeks to develop protective immunity, therefore, it is very important to schedule a trip consultation 6 weeks prior to departure or as soon as the trip is planned.

Most travel vaccines are not stocked in the clinic and are obtained by special order after you arrive in the clinic.

A copy of your signed Vanderbilt Travel Authorization will be required at the time of your visit.

To obtain services:

  • Schedule pre-trip consultation 936-0955
  • Complete Pre-travel survey
  • Obtain travel authorization

Complete the Pre-travel survey and fax to 936-0966 or bring to Occupational Health Clinic at 640 Medical Arts Building prior to your appointment so that vaccines which are indicated for you can be available at the time of your appointment.
