Traveling Overseas?

As you plan for spring break or summer travel, don’t forget about recommended vaccines if you are traveling abroad! CCPH offers international travel immunizations that you can’t get at a standard doctor’s office, such as injectable typhoid and yellow fever. Plan early — some travel-related vaccines must be administered weeks in advance to be effective or to meet entry requirements. For questions or to book your appointment, please call (513) 735-8400.
