Few Travelers Ever Experience....
People now travel more and visit more interesting destinations for business and recreation and they also now have many more options in travel vaccinations, immunizations and medications. Figuring it all out has become more complicated.
At our travel medicine clinic the focus is on YOU. Not your travel agent. Not your group leader. Not the people who live where you will be traveling. Not your fellow travelers, your relatives or your gardener. These folks may have given you travel medical advice and they usually mean well but we find that their information is often wrong.
We practice what is called “Evidence-based Medicine”.
That means that we base our recommendations on solid data about what the risks are at your destination. No guessing or “gut feelings”. Using the best available travel health databases, we prepare over 5,000 travelers each year for their trips and we’ve been doing this for 18 years.
Dr. Terry is certified in travel medicine by the International Society of Travel Medicine.
When it comes to the decision about which vaccinations or medications to choose--YOU make the final choice. No pressure or hard sell from us.
Our job is to give you the best travel medicine information available.
You can then choose your immunizations and medications based on your budget and your tolerance for risk. Everyone has a different budget and comfort level. You can do all we recommend, some of it or nothing at all--your choice.
We will work with you to prioritize your choices to stay within your budget.
We will do our best to help you have a productive and healthy trip.

TRAVEL VACCINATIONS AND IMMUNIZATIONS: WHICH ONES DO I REALLY NEED?
Yellow Fever? Rabies? Japanese Encephalitis? Typhoid? Malaria Prevention?

UPDATE: Centers for Disease Control Travel Health Current Updates
Thirty years ago there was a list because there were certain requirements by many countries and just a few available types of vaccines. With the exception of COUNTRIES REQUIRING YELLOW FEVER VACCINATION, most requirements dropped and many more vaccines available, there are now recommendations to keep you safe and healthy. As with many other things in life, everybody seems to have an opinion about travel vaccinations--ranging from reliable to out-of-date. While a bad choice in drinking water can make you sick for a few days, a bad choice in travel health advice can leave you sick for a lifetime. The best way to make intelligent, cost-effective decisions is to see a travel medicine specialist such as the Healthy Traveler Clinic. Some websites offer general recommendations such as CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION but your specific travel vaccination choices depend on your destination, duration and type of travel and accommodations, your age, vaccination and health history, tolerance for risk and your budget. To be safe, get good, personal advice.
Our physician at Healthy Traveler Clinic may discuss with you these different vaccinations for your travel:

the trust of travelers!
Here at Healthy Traveler Clinic, we hold true to our principle of “fair pricing, excellent service and value.”
To our money-smart travelers, excellent value makes economic sense when both medical services and pricing of travel immunizations are balanced with the highest level of personalized services. And by completing all your needs in one visit saves you money, time and gas!
A lot of web sites put their “About Us” on a little button somewhere on their site but we like to put ours right out here on our home page because, in all due modesty, we are really proud of how we’ve taken care of our thousands of travelers over the past 15 years or more. At our clinic you can talk to the doctor (certified in travel medicine) and get any travel vaccination and immunizations you need.
Unlike other travel clinics that just read about travel, our knowledge and experience come from our own staff traveling to the far reaches of the globe! Some of the many travel experiences includes safaris in the African continent; being surrounded by thousands of penguins in Antarctica, white water rafting from the cold river's run off of Mt. Everest and Nepal, ocean diving and snorkeling in the Australian Great Barrier Reef, camping along the rivers edge of the Amazon and many more!
And we provide the most gentle, pain free shot on this planet... period... honest! We have a very large stock of travel medications and one of the largest vaccine inventories in Los Angeles-Pasadena area of Southern California. When you need it, it’s in stock! We also carry first aid kits, insect repellents and lots of other travel safety stuff. All in an office with no waiting, that’s as friendly, spotless, professional and efficient as you’ll ever see. Truly “one-stop”. We hope you’ll come and see us. We think you’ll be impressed.
