Safe Travels
➼ If you’re going out of the country, the Monongalia County Health Department offers travel exams and counseling as well as prescriptions and immunizations for international travel. At the MCHD travel clinic, you can:
- find out what vaccines you’ll need. These can vary over time—for instance, Brazil recently experienced an outbreak of yellow fever
- get advice on traveling with your prescribed medications and the documentation you will need to get them through customs
- make sure your current medications will not interact adversely with anything you may need to travel safely
- get medication for traveler’s diarrhea
- get tips for dealing with long plane rides
- get the answers to questions you might not anticipate, like whether you should apply your sunscreen or your mosquito repellent first
Make your appointment with the travel clinic at least 4 weeks before your departure date.
Plan to take to your appointment a copy of your immunization record and the International Certificate of Vaccination if you have one, as well as a list of your allergies and any medications you are taking. Be prepared to explain your itinerary: what countries you plan to visit, what time of year you will visit them, what activities you have planned, and your accommodations.
