Travel and tropical medicine care and prevention in North Seattle

At Travel Medicine Clinic at UW Medical Center - Northwest, our mission is to keep you healthy while abroad. Our providers specialize in comprehensive travel and tropical medicine. We’re a Washington State Department of Health-authorized provider for yellow fever vaccine, and provide a full range of travel and nontravel related vaccines on site. We recommend making a pre-travel clinic appointment four to six weeks before your departure to allow for appropriate timing of vaccines. We also provide follow-up care in case you bring back more than just souvenirs.

Our physicians are board-certified in infectious disease, internal medicine, and pediatrics. We also routinely see children for travel-related visits. The Travel Medicine Clinic at UW Medical Center - Northwest offers pre-travel consultations, post-travel evaluations and, in some cases, support while you travel.

One of our infectious disease specialists will meet with you for a comprehensive review of your health history and immunizations and to provide travel advice tailored to your itinerary. Once you have received your immunizations, you will receive a Certificate of Vaccination, which is required for entry in many foreign countries.

Examples of common services we offer include management of chronic medical conditions while traveling; malaria prevention; self-treatment for traveler’s diarrhea; avoidance of illness related to food, water, animals, insects and other exposures; and prevention of injury and altitude sickness.

Many other vaccinations are available onsite, including Japanese encephalitis, polio, typhoid, hepatitis A/B, meningitis, rabies, shingles, measles/mumps/rubella, tetanus/diphtheria/pertussis and more.

We accept new patient referrals from primary care providers and specialists. You may be referred to our clinic when an infection is difficult to diagnose, does not initially respond to treatment or requires specialized or intravenous therapy.

You can call the clinic directly at 206.668.1630 to inquire about an appointment.
