Planning a trip abroad? Some destinations require vaccines to enter the country, and many carry health risks that are easy to prevent with the right shots and prescriptions. At our Upper East Side travel clinic, Dr. Marina Gafanovich reviews your itinerary and gives you the vaccines, medications and advice you need in a single visit.
Travel vaccines
Routine vaccines to update before you go
Tdap, MMR, varicella and seasonal flu. Measles outbreaks happen in many countries, so checking your MMR status is worth it before any international trip.
Prescriptions
Certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM), with more than 20 years in practice.
Affiliated with NewYork-Presbyterian / Weill Cornell Medical Center.
Dr. Gafanovich has led this Upper East Side practice since 2008; the practice was founded in 1961.
ECG, spirometry, urinalysis and blood draw in the same office, often during the same visit.
Unhurried visits, and every result is explained.

We accept many plans from Aetna, Cigna, Empire Blue Cross Blue Shield (Anthem), MultiPlan and Coresource. Self-pay patients are welcome. Call 212-249-6218 for self-pay pricing.
See our Insurance page for the full list of plans, or call 212-249-6218 and we’ll check your coverage.
Four to six weeks before departure is ideal. If you are leaving sooner, come anyway: most vaccines still give protection, and we can advise on the rest.
Some countries in Africa and South America require proof of yellow fever vaccination for entry, and others require it if you arrive from a country with yellow fever risk. We check the current rules for your itinerary.
For most travelers, one dose gives lifelong protection. Some people, and some countries’ entry rules, may need a booster. We’ll tell you if that applies to you.
Routine vaccines like Tdap, MMR and flu are often covered. Travel-specific vaccines such as yellow fever and typhoid usually are not. We’ll give you prices before any vaccine is given.
Usually yes. Some vaccines, such as hepatitis B or rabies, need more than one dose over several weeks.
Fever after travel to a malaria area always needs prompt medical attention. Call us or, if symptoms are severe, go to the emergency room and mention your travel.
