Travel Information

The PLU Student Health Center provides pre-travel counseling, immunizations, and prescriptions for travel.  Physical exams and lab tests needed for some overseas programs are available.  An appointment is required for travel consultation.  Please plan to schedule globeyour consultation at least 6 weeks ahead of  the departure date to allow adequate time for immunization schedules.


Items to bring to your appointment are:

  • Travel Itinerary
  • Immunization records
  • Any forms needing completion

Immunizations » 

Immunization recommendations vary depending on location, length of stay and personal preferences.  In general, the less developed the location and the longer the stay results in more precautions recommended.  Go to the immunizations page for information on each travel vaccine.
