How do I prepare to travel with Health Services?

- Calling our office at 781.283.2810.
- Sending our office a message through Patient Gateway.

*** This appointment should be scheduled at your earliest convenience once you are made aware of your traveling plans. Health Services can assist with your traveling preparations by completing the following steps below.
At the time of your appointment, Health Services will review your immunization record and provide any immunizations required for travel.
*** Please note that Health Services does not carry all types of vaccinations. In the event that Health Services cannot administer a required immunization, an appointment can be arranged to have this completed with the Newton-Wellesley Hospital Travel Clinic.
At the time of your appointment, Health Services will review your medication list and provide any necessary medication refills prior to traveling. In the event that you will need an early refill or a large-quantity refill, the destination and the duration of your traveling may be needed.
*** Please note that medication refill requests can take up to three business days to fulfill, so it is important to submit your medication refill request in advance.
At the time of your appointment, Health Services will review your medical history and chart to determine whether or not you are fit to travel. If you have any forms or paperwork requiring proof of medical clearance or requiring a provider's signature prior to travel, please bring these with you!
