Shots For Africa

Lack of preventative medicine, poverty and poor sanitation all make Africa a risky destination for travelers who don't receive shots for their trips. For these reasons, it is imperative that you receive the proper shots--even for diseases that are virtually non-existent in the United States such as measles, mumps, diphtheria and rubella. Additional shots for yellow fever and other diseases found in Africa can also be given at Passport Health.

Getting shots for these commonly vaccinated diseases in a doctor's office or clinic typically involves waiting in line at a lab with a crowd of other people. At Passport Health, our travel medicine professionals are able to administer shots for measles, mumps, diphtheria and rubella right in our modern, comfortable and private offices. Our focus is on preparing you for your trip to Africa, not on giving out as many vaccinations as can be managed in a day.
