Are you planning to travel abroad for a business trip or a family vacation? If so, schedule an appointment at one of our Memorial Hermann Executive Health, Memorial Hermann Occupational Health or Memorial Hermann Medical Group locations in the Greater Houston area for all of your Travel Medicine needs.
Each Travel Medicine Consultation is conducted by one of our Board-Certified Physicians who work in accordance with standards set by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Whether you are in need of a consultation with vaccinations, or if you already have vaccination orders from your primary care physician and just need the vaccinations, we are here to serve you.
After you schedule an appointment, one of our staff members will email a travel medicine questionnaire and some additional paperwork for you to complete and bring with you to your appointment. Don’t forget to bring the following paperwork to your travel medicine consultation:
