Planning a trip abroad? New Hamden Pharmacy offers a travel vaccination program with destination-specific guidance for international travelers. We recommend scheduling your travel consultation 4 to 6 weeks before departure to allow time for vaccine series and to make sure your protection is fully effective before you travel.
Our pharmacist will review your itinerary and recommend the right vaccines for your destination. Common travel vaccines include:
Yellow Fever: Required or recommended for travel to many regions where the disease is present.
Typhoid: Recommended for travelers to regions with poor sanitation and a higher risk of contaminated food or water.
Malaria Prophylaxis: Prescription medication to help prevent malaria when traveling to high-risk regions.
Hepatitis A: Recommended for most international travelers, especially to areas with poor sanitation.
Hepatitis B: Recommended for long-term travelers or those who may have medical care or close contact with locals.
Routine Vaccines: We can also update routine immunizations such as flu, Tdap, and MMR before you travel.
Traveling somewhere not listed above or need a specific vaccine for your destination? Give us a call at (203) 535-0949 and our pharmacist will help you figure out exactly what you need based on your itinerary, destination, and personal health history.

Your travel itinerary including dates and destinations.
Your vaccination history or immunization records.
A list of current medications and any allergies.
