The Thielen Student Health Center Travel Clinic provides specialized medical services designed to prepare international travelers. Current Iowa State University students, faculty, staff and their spouses/partners may be seen based on availability.
When to make an appointment?
Plan ahead! Most immunizations need at least 6 weeks prior to travel to complete the series. Emergency visits may be accommodated. To plan for your visit, we require you to complete an international traveler questionnaire. You can access the form here or by picking up a copy at the health center.
Vaccines for Travel
Thielen Student Health Center can provide the information and advice you need to prepare for international travel. Depending on your destination, there may be additional vaccination requirements. The staff at Thielen can help you determine what vaccines, if any, could be required.
If you are planning an international trip, here's what to know and do ahead of time:
- Complete and submit the Traveler History Form (PDF) and gather all previous and current vaccination records
- Submit the completed form and vaccination records by emailing to shctravel@iastate.edu
- Please note: travel questionnaire must be completed and submitted with all previous and current vaccination information BEFORE your appointment.
- Plan to submit information well in advance of your trip – some vaccination requirements may take several months to be completed. We recommend 2 months prior to your departure date.
- Appointments will be scheduled for Wednesday, Thursday or Friday
