The CDC advises seeing a healthcare provider at least 4 to 6 weeks before international travel, because some vaccines need time to work or need more than one dose. Urgent Care Center of Westmont, also known as Immediate Care Center of Westmont, offers pre-travel visits for adults and children. We review your itinerary, activities and medical history and use CDC Travelers’ Health guidance to plan your care.
Leaving soon? Come in anyway. The CDC notes that last-minute travelers can still benefit from a visit, even days before departure.
Bring your vaccine records and a list of your medicines. Vaccine stock can change, so call (630) 324-6825 to confirm the vaccines you need are available.
Some countries require proof of yellow fever vaccination on an International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (the yellow card). In the United States, this vaccine is given only at clinics authorized to provide it. Call us before you come to ask about yellow fever vaccine, or use the CDC’s yellow fever vaccination clinic search to find an authorized site.
Our providers check the CDC destination page for your trip and tailor advice to your health. You leave with a plan for vaccines, medicines to discuss and a travel health kit. The CDC suggests packing enough prescription medicine for the whole trip plus extra, and checking whether your health insurance covers care abroad.
After you return, we can see you for fever, diarrhea, rash or other new symptoms. Tell the provider where you traveled, because some infections show up weeks after a trip.
After travel, go to the nearest emergency room for a high fever with confusion, a stiff neck, trouble breathing, bleeding, or signs of severe dehydration such as no urine for 8 hours. Also call 911 for chest pain or pressure, trouble breathing, signs of a stroke (face drooping, arm weakness, trouble speaking, sudden loss of balance or vision), severe bleeding, fainting or a seizure.
