International Travel

San Juan Basin Health provides immunizations for international travelers by appointment only. Please schedule appointment 6 to 8 weeks prior to travel by calling 247-5702.  We bill RMHMO only. A receipt is provided for you to submit a claim to all other insurance; checks or cash are accepted (no credit cards) 

Appointments consist of reviewing traveler's immunization history, destination health risk report and vaccination recommendations, as well administration of vaccinations. Malaria risk is discussed with appropriate guidance for securing a prescription for anti-malarial medications from your local physician.  A yellow “International Certificate of Vaccination” is issued at time of vaccinations.

Travel Health consultation fees are $50 for one person, $70 for two, and $50 for each additional person at time of appointment.  Please bring your vaccination records to your appointment.
