There is currently a nation-wide YF-Vax vaccine shortage. JCPH is currently out of this vaccine and does not anticipate getting more until late 2018. An alternative yellow fever vaccine, Stamaril, is available at several sites in Seattle.

Information Needed
Be prepared to provide the following information when calling for an appointment:
Name and birth date of persons having the travel appointment
Which countries you will visit and in which order?
How long will you stay in each country?
Cruise? You will be asked to fax your itinerary.
Note: Several vaccines require multiple doses separated by months to provide adequate protection. Please plan ahead.
Bring your immunization records to your appointment so we can update them. JCPH only has access to records of immunizations we administered or those entered in the Washington State Immunization Registry (WAIIS). Some doctor's offices may not enter adult vaccines into WAIIS.
Payment
Bring your insurance card unless you will be paying cash.
Please note that Medicare and Medicaid do not cover travel services or vaccines.
