Measles Vaccine for Travelers

• Measles Fact Sheet

Some parts of Europe, Asia, the Asia-Pacific Region, and Africa are experiencing outbreaks of the measles. If you are planning to travel outside the U.S., ask your health care provider if anyone in your family needs a measles (MMR) vaccine.

Young children and some adults may need an additional dose of vaccine before traveling overseas.

Measles is a very contagious, and sometimes deadly disease. Even traveling on an airplane with other international travelers could put you at risk of catching the disease. Vaccination is the best protection against the measles.

Not sure if you were vaccinated against measles?

Check with your health care provider. If you were born before 1957 it's likely that you have been exposed to the virus and are immune. If you were vaccinated before 1971 when vaccines weren't as reliable, ask your health care provider. You may need an additional dose of measles vaccine.

Recommendations:

• Don't wait – start early! Travel vaccinations can take a minimum of 4 to 6 weeks to complete. Contact your health care provider as soon as you can.
• Children, adolescents and adults should have two doses of Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) vaccine, at least 28 days apart, before traveling internationally.
• An early dose of MMR vaccine is recommended for children 6-11 months of age who will be traveling internationally. This dose does not count as part of the routine doses given at 12-15 months and 4-6 years of age. Young children who travel internationally may need a total of 3 MMR vaccinations.

What customers are saying

You may be wondering:

What is the reason for the office visit fee ›.

We are a small, one-location clinic, and the fee helps us cover administrative and processing costs. Every person will be charged an office visit fee of $75. More information on office visit fees is here.

Do you accept health insurance for vaccination? ›

No. TravelClinicNY does not accept health insurance for vaccination, but we can provide you with the necessary papers to get reimbursed by your health insurance.

Can I get the necessary prescriptions? ›

Yes. Each patient is seen by a certified doctor who prescribes all the necessary medications for your trip: malaria, anti-diarrheal medication, medication to prevent vomiting and for altitude, broad-spectrum antibiotics, and sleeping and flight anxiety pills.

Why should I choose your Travel clinic instead of other clinics? ›

People Choose TravelClinicNY for Many Reasons:

Affordable medical care

Our vaccine prices are very affordable and among the lowest on the market.

We value our reputation, and we will recommend the necessary shots. There will be no upselling—guaranteed. Our provider will explain the difference between mandatory and recommended travel immunizations during your visit. He will help you decide based on CDC guidelines for the country you are visiting, your planned activities, and your medical conditions, medications, and allergies.

Same-Day Appointments

You can schedule your appointment online for the same day.

Convenient office location

Our office is conveniently located in Midtown Manhattan, a few blocks away from the Empire State Building and Macy’s flagship store.

Boutique clinic advantages

TravelClinicNY is a boutique travel vaccination clinic with the advantages of a small office, including a personalized approach and a pleasant, relaxing atmosphere.

Doctors instead of PAs and NPs

All our patients are seen by our board-certified travel doctor, not a PA or NP, as in our competitor’s clinics. Doctors get more education and training in all fields of medicine. This makes a big difference because common medications that people take for chronic conditions can interact with travel shots, and there are other things to consider, like age limit, allergies, and questions about pregnancy.

In addition to travel vaccines

Travel medicine is our specialty, but we also carry all the routine vaccines that primary care medical services carry to serve our community, including pneumonia, shingles, and flu. Our travel health services clinic is a member of the International Society of Travel Medicine.

Travel Vaccinations NYC

All travel medicine consultations are performed personally by our doctor in a private office setting in our convenient New York City location. The information, vaccinations (such as Yellow Fever , Typhoid, and Japanese Encephalitis), and prescriptions provided are based on the details of your specific trip, what you are doing during that trip, and your health history.

Known for providing some of the most comprehensive care and travel vaccinations NYC has to offer, our approach to travel health is customized to help ensure you stay well throughout your entire trip.

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

Why do i need a travel medicine consultation.

…why not avoid the shots or just get a couple of them at a pharmacy or walk-in clinic and skip the consultation?

At our Travel Clinic in NYC , we commonly hear “I have traveled all over the world without a problem, so why spend extra time and money on travel shots and health preparation?” In reality, traveling abroad poses many health risks. Going on a trip without adequate preparation is, essentially, gambling. You may be fine most of the time, however…

Travel Vaccine Q & A

What kinds of vaccines are required for travel.

That depends on where you’re traveling. Some countries require proof of vaccinations before they’ll allow you to enter the country. Other vaccinations may not be required for travel, but they may still be recommended in order for you to avoid contracting a disease and becoming ill. Travelers to tropical and sub-tropical countries are at special risk for travel-related illnesses, as are those who travel to developing countries. At Travel Health Services, we offer a comprehensive array of vaccinations for travel throughout the world, including vaccinations for yellow fever, and more. Our practice is authorized by the World Health Organization (WHO) to validate the International Certificates of Vaccination (ICV). During your pre-travel consultation, we’ll review your destination as well as the health risks associated with that locale. We’ll also review your overall health so we can make recommendations based on pre-existing health conditions and other factors.

When should I be vaccinated?

Some vaccines require several weeks to become effective, which means you’d need to be vaccinated a month prior to travel to be fully protected. To ensure your vaccinations are provided at the optimal time, you should call to schedule a pre-travel consultation as soon as you have confirmed your travel dates. The pre-travel consultation will provide you with a list of both required and recommended vaccines as well as other health-related information specific to your needs so you can feel more confident as you explore the world.

Will my insurance cover the costs of my immunizations?

You’ll need to contact your insurance company to determine which immunizations are covered under your insurance. At The New York Center for Travel and Tropical Medicine we do not accept insurance. After your care, we will provide you with an itemized receipt that you could submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement.

Travel Medicine

Whether you are about to travel abroad and need vaccinations, or have contracted a disease while traveling, our infectious disease specialists can help. Many countries require certain vaccinations, while others are recommended. We have the expertise to help keep you safe and healthy, wherever you’re going.

For pre-travel consultations—in addition to the appropriate shots—we can offer dietary and safety suggestions, make recommendations based on your overall health, and take into consideration your current medications. Depending on your itinerary, you may be prescribed travel medicines such as anti-malaria medication. Make sure you have your immunization records and travel itinerary when you come to see us. It’s important to get vaccinated four to six weeks before you travel. Taking precautions now will not only keep you healthy on your trip, but will also make sure you don’t bring any serious diseases home to your family, friends, or community.

Consultation for Individuals, Groups, and Organizations

We provide consultations for individuals, businesses, and groups. Customized services for business travelers, nongovernment organizations (NGOs), and others are available. Please call us to discuss your particular travel health concerns and needs. We speak English and Spanish. Whether you’re traveling for pleasure or business, we will do our best to make sure you have a healthy and safe trip.

Yellow Fever Vaccinations

The Mount Sinai Travel Medicine Program is a designated Yellow Fever Center and offers official yellow fever vaccine certificates to both adults and children. As an academic center for travel medicine, Mount Sinai serves as a referral center for patients working for the United Nations and Doctors Without Borders.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention  (CDC), the yellow fever vaccine is recommended for people aged 9 months or older who are traveling to or living in areas at risk for yellow fever virus transmission in South America and Africa. Yellow fever vaccine may be required for entry into certain countries. Yellow fever vaccination requirements and recommendations for specific countries are available on the CDC Travelers’ Health page .

For most travelers, a single dose of yellow fever vaccine provides long-lasting protection, and a booster dose of the vaccine is not needed. However, some travelers may require a booster dose. Also, certain countries might require a booster dose of the vaccine; visit the CDC Travelers’ Health page for information on specific country requirements. We can help you to determine if you may need a dose of yellow fever vaccine or a booster dose before your trip to an area at risk for yellow fever.

Currently we send all bills for the travel medicine consultation and vaccinations to insurance companies.  Different plans have different coverage policies.  If the insurance company does not cover the services listed, the traveler will be responsible for the costs of the vaccines and the visit. Please contact your insurance provider prior to the visit to find out more.

Upper West Side Travel Clinic

Passport Health has the most popular travel vaccines on hand and ready for your journey, including protection against typhoid , cholera and hepatitis A .

Getting a yellow fever vaccine is important before going on a trip to places where the disease is found. Yellow fever is a sickness caused by a virus spread by mosquitoes and can be very dangerous. Getting the vaccine helps protect you and helps keep other people healthy too.

It’s best to go to a special travel clinic which knows about yellow fever and carries the vaccine, like Passport Health. We can also tell you about other shots or medicines you may need for your trip. Our clinics are authorized yellow fever vaccine providers and can give you a yellow card (or proof of vaccination) that shows you got the shot. Some countries need to see this card before they let you in.

Travel clinics make it convenient to receive all necessary vaccinations in one session. Passport Health keeps yellow fever and other essential travel vaccines in stock, simplifying your travel health preparations.

Chickenpox , measles, mumps , and hepatitis A are just a few of the vaccines that are recommended for everyone, regardless of age. If you’re planning on traveling, Passport Health wants to make sure you’re protected from the most hazardous infections.

Travelers’ diarrhea kits, mosquito nets and repellents are just the start. Passport Health offers a wide variety of travel supplies to help you stay safe and comfortable throughout your trip. See our Passport Health store to learn more !

Travel Vaccines Q&A

What are travel vaccines.

Travel vaccines are a way to help protect travelers from serious diseases and complications. It’s possible you might come into contact with diseases, such as yellow fever, that are rare in the United States. Some countries require that you get certain vaccines before traveling there.

To discover what vaccines you need before you embark on your trip, it’s best to visit Dr. Galstian and the team at Family Medicine NYC, PC.

The travel vaccines recommended for you depend on:

• Where you plan to travel
• Your overall health
• The vaccines you’ve had previously

Some countries require proof of vaccination for some diseases, such as yellow fever or polio. If you have a weakened immune system or an ongoing illness, you might require additional vaccines.

When should I get my travel vaccines?

You should get vaccinated at least four to six weeks before your trip. This helps to ensure the vaccines have ample time to begin working, offering you optimal travel protection.

Some vaccines might require more than one dose. Starting your vaccines in advance gives you more time to receive any additional doses.

The team at Family Medicine NYC, PC offers personalized plans that are specific to your travel itinerary and health history. During your travel health appointment, your doctor goes over your personal medical history, provides and plans any necessary vaccines, and gives you valuable information and tips for remaining healthy on your journey.

What are the different types of travel vaccines?

There are different types of travel vaccines. Some vaccines are recommended for most travelers, such as:

• Hepatitis A
• Hepatitis B
• Yellow fever

Other vaccines are recommended for people traveling to certain areas where there are higher risks. Antimalarials are provided for those traveling to malaria-risk areas, and rabies vaccines are recommended for those traveling in remote areas, the outdoors, and those who might come into contact with bats, dogs, and other mammals.

Children are considered a higher risk for a number of complications and infections and require different travel vaccines. For your convenience, Family Medicine NYC, PC offers pediatric travel vaccines.

Other vaccines that Family Medicine NYC, PC offers include:

• Immune globulin
• Japanese encephalitis
• MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella)

Updated COVID-19 Vaccines Coming Soon

New COVID-19 vaccines that are formulated to protect against currently circulating variants will be available for New Yorkers soon, likely beginning in early to mid-September. The NYC Vaccine Finder will be updated with locations where you can get the new vaccine when it is available.

This year’s vaccine is formulated to provide good protection against currently circulating variants. Immunity to COVID-19 wanes over time, so getting the updated vaccine can give you the highest protection. COVID-19 vaccines have been safely administered to hundreds of millions of people in the U.S. The vaccines continue to be the best way to protect yourself from severe illness from COVID-19 and other health complications, like Long COVID.

COVID-19 Vaccines Recommended for Everyone 6 Months and Older

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that everyone ages 6 months and older get a COVID-19 vaccine this season.

While anyone can become very sick from COVID-19, the vaccine is especially lifesaving for people who:

• Are 65 or older
• Are pregnant
• Have an underlying health condition that puts them at higher risk for severe outcomes
• Have certain disabilities that may increase their risk for having underlying health conditions

Vaccination can help reduce the duration and severity of COVID-19 symptoms if you become infected, and it reduces the risk of long COVID for adults and children.

No-cost vaccines are available for people who are uninsured and regardless of immigration status. You can search for no-cost vaccine sites using the “Insurance” tab within Vaccine Finder.

Call 212-COVID19 (212-268-4319) for vaccination assistance.

COVID-19 vaccines remain our best protection against COVID-19. Even healthy people can become very sick from COVID-19 and should be vaccinated.

If you get COVID-19, vaccines reduce your risk of long-term health effects , including long COVID. Even people who have had COVID-19 should get vaccinated.

The vaccines now available from Pfizer, Moderna and Novavax are designed to protect against newer variants. In studies, they were shown to be effective against current circulating variants. They also help strengthen your protection against the virus, which is important as protection lessens over time.

Everyone should stay up to date with their vaccines. For most people, that means getting just one updated 2023-2024 vaccine dose.

Vaccines and Schedules

Three updated vaccines are available in the US: Pfizer (Comirnaty), Moderna (Spikevax), and Novavax. The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are available for people ages 6 months and older, and the Novavax vaccine for people ages 12 and older.

The CDC recommends an updated vaccine for everyone ages 6 months and older. The prior versions of the Pfizer, Moderna and Novavax vaccines are no longer available.

People 5 years and older

Most people ages 5 years and older need just one updated vaccine dose to be considered up to date.

• If you previously received one or more COVID-19 vaccine dose, get one dose of the Pfizer, Moderna or Novavax updated vaccine — it does not matter which brand. However, Novavax is only available for ages 12 and older.
• If you never received a COVID-19 vaccine dose, get either one dose of the updated Pfizer or Moderna vaccine or two doses (three weeks apart) of the updated Novavax vaccine.
• If you are 65 or older or immunocompromised, you may need additional doses for better protection .
• The updated vaccine can be administered two months after your last dose.

If you recently had COVID-19, you can consider waiting three months before getting your next vaccine dose. You may want to get vaccinated sooner than three months if you are at higher risk of severe illness from COVID-19 or getting it again. Talk to your provider about when you should get your next vaccine.

Children Younger than 5

Children younger than age 5 still need multiple doses of vaccines. The vaccines for this age group have been updated with the new formula, but are a lower dose than for older people. Only the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are available for this age group.

Children who have never received a COVID-19 vaccine should follow this schedule:

Updated Pfizer Vaccine

• Ages: 6 months to 4 years
• Doses: Three
• Schedule: Second dose given at least 21 days after the first, and the third dose given at least 56 days after the second.

Updated Moderna Vaccine

• Doses: Two (children who are immunocompromised should get three doses)
• Schedule: Second dose given at least 28 days after the first

Children ages 6 months through 4 years who have already received one or more doses of a COVID-19 vaccine should receive the updated vaccine. The number of updated doses they need will depend on the vaccine and their vaccination history. Ask your child’s provider how many doses they need.

A parent or guardian must provide consent for their child to be vaccinated. Consent can be given in person, by phone or in writing, depending on the vaccination site.

Additional Doses for People Ages 65 and Older and People With a Weakened Immune System

The CDC recommends that people 65 and older should get an additional vaccine dose of the 2023-2024 updated COVID-19 vaccine at least four months after their previous shot.

People who have a weakened immune system — such as those being treated for cancer or who have had an organ transplant — can get additional doses as long as they are given at least two months apart.

People who have a weakened immune system and received previous COVID-19 vaccines should get at least one updated vaccine dose. They can get additional updated doses at least two months after the last updated vaccine dose if recommended by their provider.

People who have a weakened immune system and have never received a COVID-19 vaccine should get three vaccine doses as part of their initial vaccine series. They can then get additional doses, as noted above.
