Whether you are traveling for business, leisure, study abroad, humanitarian work, or an extended international assignment, proper preparation can help reduce health risks and make travel safer and more comfortable.
At the Travel & Immunization Clinic of Portland, our clinicians provide comprehensive travel health services to help you prepare for international travel with confidence. From vaccines and medications to preventative guidance and destination-specific health considerations, we help you understand what to consider before departure.
Since 2003, we have helped travelers throughout the Portland area navigate their travel health needs with practical guidance and experienced care.
Travel health recommendations shouldn’t be based on your destination alone. Your itinerary, length of stay, planned activities, accommodations, health history, and previous vaccinations can all affect what is appropriate for your trip.
Our clinicians take the time to understand your individual travel plans, explain potential health risks, and discuss the recommendations that are most relevant to you. We help you understand what may be required, what is recommended, and what may not be necessary for your specific travel plans.
More vaccines are not always better. In fact, we often advise travelers when a vaccine is not necessary based on what we learn during your consultation. Our focus is on appropriate recommendations and education, not simply administering every vaccine associated with a destination.
Travel health guidance also changes as disease outbreaks, entry requirements, and health conditions evolve around the world. While your primary care provider is an important resource for your overall health, travel medicine requires specialized, up-to-date knowledge of destination-specific risks and recommendations. Our clinicians focus on helping travelers understand the latest considerations relevant to where and how you are traveling.
Our goal is to give you the education and guidance you need to make informed decisions about your health, not simply provide a checklist of vaccines associated with your destination.
Your travel consultation is an opportunity to discuss your trip, ask questions, and receive guidance specific to your travel plans and health needs.
Your consultation may include:
When appropriate, recommended vaccinations can be administered during the same appointment.
Every trip is different. Our clinicians help travelers prepare for a wide range of international travel, from vacations and business trips to study abroad, humanitarian work, and remote adventures.
Travel health consultations, vaccine recommendations, and preventative guidance for vacations, cruises, and international tourism.
Travel preparation and immunization support for mission trips, medical outreach programs, and humanitarian work abroad. For organizations sending groups internationally, we can also coordinate group consultations and on-site travel health services to help teams prepare together.
Efficient travel health preparation for professionals and corporate travelers with upcoming international assignments.

Our clinic offers a comprehensive range of travel vaccines, preventative medications, and health guidance for international travelers.
Vaccines and medications can often be provided during your consultation, allowing you to receive both professional guidance and recommended preventive care in one visit. Because recommendations are based on your individual travel plans and health needs, having a vaccine available does not necessarily mean you need it. Your clinician will help you understand which options are appropriate for you.
We offer commonly recommended travel vaccines and preventative medications, including:
Some destinations may also require proof of vaccination for entry. Our clinicians can help you understand applicable vaccination requirements and documentation needs for your trip.
