The typhoid vaccine is recommended for nearly every part of the developing world, including most tropical and many sub-tropical locations, because the disease is easily transmitted through contaminated water and food. Anywhere you go, if you want to eat or drink while there-you are at risk if there is active typhoid transmission in the area. Things that can increase the risk of typhoid transmission include poor sanitation and water contamination. Unfortunately, most of the developing world lacks the sewer and water systems you may be accustomed to in the United States. Additionally, the people preparing your food may be infected with typhoid without knowing it. Typhoid is treatable, but an estimated 128,000 to 161,000 die from typhoid every year. We do provide the typhoid vaccine at Away Clinic and we can advise you on whether you need it and what the risk level is for your trip. We also offer yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis and any other vaccines you may need for where you're traveling to. Read more about typhoid.

Travel clinics are well-versed in travel-related vaccinations and can advise you on the specific immunizations needed for your destination. Different countries have different vaccine requirements and recommendations based on the risk of diseases like yellow fever, typhoid, Japanese encephalitis, polio, meningitis, and others. Getting the appropriate vaccines helps protect you from potentially serious illnesses.

Travel clinics are also one-stop shops that typically offer malaria prescription services and travel health advice to keep you healthy during your trip.

While speaking with your primary care physician is often advised before undertaking a big trip, they are unlikely to have access to hard-to-find travel vaccines such as the yellow fever vaccine (YF-VAX) and oral typhoid vaccine (ty21a). More than likely your doctor will refer you to Away Clinic for your vaccines and possibly your malaria prescription too.

It is very important that you not travel to developing and tropical countries without getting your shots first. International travel carries risks and you don't want to end up sick in bed during your whole trip--or worse.

4worldlovers: At Arcadia Physician’s Travel Clinic we specialize in preventative travel health. International disease risk is always changing, and differs greatly from the disease risk here in the United States. When disease outbreaks occur, the vaccine recommendations or requirements for that part of the world can change. Antibiotic resistance is present in some parts of the world. Some malaria medications do not protect in certain parts of the world. It is our job to stay current on these and other changing issues. Most primary care providers are not aware of these changes and do not have the time to remain current on issues related to travel. We know the intricacies of international travel that your primary care physician may not know. We also have vaccines such as Yellow Fever and Typhoid that most primary care providers do not have.


There are no vaccine requirements for my destination. Is a consultation really necessary?


No matter where you are traveling you will be exposed to exotic organisms. Many countries around the world have infectious diseases that are very dangerous, and even deadly. Most countries do not have vaccine requirements for travel. This does not mean that there is no risk.


A vaccine is a harmless substance delivered to your body to stimulate an immune response. Vaccines stimulate your body to produce antibodies and provide immunity against one or several diseases. If you are exposed to a disease after you have received the vaccine, your immune system is ready to fight the infection with the right antibodies so that you don’t get sick.

Yes, we recommend that you call ahead and schedule an appointment. Since some vaccinations require multiple doses before immunity is obtained, it is best to schedule an appointment 4 to 6 weeks prior to travel so that you have adequate time to build immunity. We understand that sometimes plans happen quickly and it is not possible to come in 6 weeks in advance. It is never too late to be seen. Some vaccines offer immediate immunity, and others have accelerated schedules that can be given in a pinch. Appointments are often available the same day or the same week that you call.


Some countries require proof of yellow fever vaccination as a condition of entry. Other countries have yellow fever risk, but do not require vaccination. Our staff will be able to address your specific trip and will make recommendations about yellow fever and other vaccinations.

We can see you without a referral or prescription from your doctor. Doctor Tyler Southwell, MD is our medical director and oversees all care provided.


It is ideal to schedule a pre-travel consultation 6 weeks or more before travel. Some vaccines require multiple doses spaced over a specific time period before full immunity is gained. Other vaccines provide immediate protection. We understand that it is not always possible to be seen 6 weeks prior to travel. In these situations we will meet your travel health needs as completely as possible in the time we have. It is never too late to be seen.

We will determine what, if any, prescriptions you may require in your pre-travel consultation. It is possible you may need antibiotics to treat traveler’s diarrhea, medication to prevent malaria, medication to prevent altitude illness, or other prescriptions that Dr. Southwell determines are appropriate for you.

Bring your full itinerary as well as any prior immunization records so that we can determine exactly what vaccines or medications you will need.
