Guidance on Vaccinations and Other Health Considerations for Travelers

St. Charles County - Preparing for travel out of the United States can lead to a bewildering array of recommendations. These often include health advisories and information on mandatory and recommended vaccinations.

As a service to visitors to its website, the St. Charles County Department of Community Health and the Environment has a new section providing travel information. For residents of the St. Louis metro area, a very helpful feature is a list of travel clinics where vaccinations, some difficult to find, can be obtained.

To view the new travel information go to the Department of Community Health and the Environment website at www.scchealth.org and click "Planning A Trip" on the scrolling headline near the top of the page. For those without access to the Internet, call 636-949-7400 for travel information.
