From booking to boarding, we make pre-travel health preparation simple.

Additional routine immunizations and boosters reviewed and updated based on your destination and health history.
Why Peoria travelers choose a specialized travel medicine clinic over their family doctor.
The West Valley doesn’t have a dedicated travel medicine clinic, and that matters more than most people realize. A general practice or urgent care can give you a Hepatitis A shot, but they can’t deliver a complete travel health assessment calibrated to your destination, the season, the specific regions you’ll visit, and the activities you’ve planned. Malaria prophylaxis regimens differ by destination and traveler health profile. Yellow fever vaccines require a certified center and official documentation. Traveler’s diarrhea prevention isn’t one-size-fits-all. TravelBug Health’s travel medicine specialists handle all of this under one roof.
TravelBug Health is an Arizona Department of Health Services-recognized Yellow Fever Vaccination Center. Our specialists are credentialed in travel medicine and have guided travelers from Peoria and across the West Valley to destinations on every continent. For Peoria retirees planning international adventures and families heading overseas for the first time, that depth of expertise, just 35 minutes away, is worth the drive.
Whether you’re a West Valley retiree planning an international cruise or a family heading overseas for the first time, we tailor your health preparation to your trip.

Real reviews from patients who trusted TravelBug Health for their pre-travel health needs.
“My husband and I are retired and we travel internationally every winter: Egypt, Portugal, Southeast Asia. We drive from Peoria to TravelBug Health every time before a big trip. They know our history, update what we need, and always take the time to explain everything. Worth every mile of the drive.”
We recommend booking 4 to 6 weeks ahead of departure. Some vaccine series require multiple doses over several weeks, and medications like malaria prophylaxis need to start before you arrive at your destination. If you’re leaving sooner, call us. We can often still help significantly even on a compressed timeline.
Bring your full itinerary (flight details, countries, regions, activities), your existing immunization records, and a list of current medications and health conditions. If you’re bringing children, bring their vaccination records too. The more information you share, the more targeted your travel health assessment will be.
Some insurance plans cover standard immunizations like Hepatitis A/B as preventive care, but travel-specific vaccines and medications are often out-of-pocket. We recommend checking with your insurer before your visit. We provide detailed receipts you can submit for reimbursement if your plan allows it.
Yes. We offer pediatric travel medicine consultations and can vaccinate children and adults in the same appointment, making it efficient for families coordinating a group trip. Bring vaccination records for every traveler attending.
Yes, and it’s exactly why seeing a travel medicine specialist matters. Certain medications, including some malaria prophylaxis options, interact with common conditions like diabetes and heart disease. Our specialists factor your full health history into every recommendation, ensuring your travel health plan is both effective and safe for your specific situation.
Absolutely. If you’re visiting the Peoria Sports Complex area for spring training and want to get travel vaccines or a consultation before heading internationally, we welcome out-of-state patients. Call ahead to confirm availability and bring whatever vaccination records you have with you.
