SSM Health Monroe Clinic Medical Group

Going to Brazil? Jamaica? Japan? South Africa? Australia?

Before you leave, it's important to visit a travel medicine clinic, where you can receive pre- and post-travel counseling, disease prevention advice and immunizations.

SSM Health Monroe Clinic Medical Group offers travel medicine services staffed by a team of health care providers who offer a wide range of services tailored to the individual and his or her travel plans. Travelers learn how to avoid certain risk factors, how to best manage any of their pre-existing conditions, and what precautions need to be taken before they can begin their journey.

We are one of the few facilities in Wisconsin that offers the yellow fever vaccine. If patients are not able to get this vaccine prior to going to their destination, they would not be allowed to enter a country where it is recommended.

A minimum of eight weeks may be needed to receive all basic vaccinations required for your trip, though certain immunizations can require even more time. You should consult a travel medicine expert as soon as you begin planning for your journey.
