The Northern California Travel Clinic, directed by Erika M. Steffe, M.D., with decades of experience, offers a full line of services to patients traveling to foreign countries where exposure to illnesses not seen in the United States may occur. The International Society of Travel Medicine indicates that up to 50% of travelers to developing countries will develop a health problem. A visit to our travel clinic involves a discussion of anticipated exposures and how to avoid them. In addition, we will recommend vaccinations or medication that will reduce the risk of becoming infected on your trip. All recommended vaccines are available at the time of your visit, including yellow fever. The traveler will receive an immunization record to place in his or her passport, listing the vaccinations received and a letter detailing recommended strategies to avoid serious illnesses while traveling. Return visitors will receive a discount for subsequent visits. Urgent appointments are often available. We are also experienced in working with large and small corporations conducting international business. As travel related medical appointments are usually not covered by insurance, we request payment (VISA, Mastercard, checks) at time of service. If you are unclear whether vaccinations are indicated for your destination, we recommend visiting the CDC website at www.cdc.gov/travel. We look forward to seeing you in our travel clinic at We wish you safe and happy travels. )
