International Travel Consultation

Student Health Services (SHS) provides MUSC students planning international travel with information about the countries they are planning to visit, evaluates individual health care needs and risks, and provides appropriate immunizations (for a fee.) Please note, not all required  vaccines are available at SHS. Student anticipating travel should make an appointment a minimum of eight weeks prior to travel to allow time for counseling and administration of immunizations.
