This is a great question and an important consideration! Travel medicine and vaccinations are necessary for people travelling outside of North America. These people should be vaccinated before they leave in order to prevent illness, and it takes some time for vaccinations to become fully effective in the body. It’s recommended that people get vaccinated four to six weeks before they leave for their vacation abroad. If you need a travel vaccination, flu shot, or any other vaccination right away, then just come over to Quick Family Urgent Care. We can have your shot done quickly so you won’t have to think about it anymore. Come see us today!
