Travel Medicine
International travel can be an exciting opportunity, one which shouldn’t be interrupted by illness. The Womack Army Medical Center Travel Clinic offers travel-related advice to help ensure travelers get the most out of their trip. Services are provided to dependent beneficiaries, retired service members, dependents accompanying active duty service members on permanent change of station (PCS) orders, and active duty Soldiers traveling on leave. Active duty Soldiers on orders for PCS or temporary duty (TDY) must process through the Soldier Readiness Center. Department of the Army employees must process through occupational health and contractors should check with their contracting agency to determine eligibility.
Appointments for international travelers should be made at least 4-6 weeks in advance of travel to allow time for all vaccinations.
The Travel Clinic works in conjunction with the Allergy/Immunology Clinic to provide vaccinations including hepatitis, typhoid fever and yellow fever vaccine, among others.
Travel visit and immunizations are provided in the same general area and can be completed at the same appointment.
