The Travel Vaccine Program, offered by Renown Medical Group, maintains a wide selection of vaccinations and prescribes medications you need to stay safe and healthy while traveling.
Travel vaccinations are provided on Wednesdays from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. We recommend scheduling your appointment at least 4-6 weeks before your travels. This timeframe allows enough time for immunizations to take effect and fill prescriptions. We will accommodate last-minute travelers as best we can.

Prescriptions to prevent malaria, traveler's diarrhea and altitude sickness
International Certification of Vaccination (ICV)

In addition, you'll receive recommended immunizations and prescriptions on the same day. Bon voyage!
