Travel Immunizations & Advisories
How We Help
International travel, whether for business or pleasure, has created the need for a special health team to prepare for the safety of the traveler. The Sansum Clinic Travel Center provides information, medication, and instructions regarding immunizations, antimalarial prophylaxis, guidelines for exposure to contaminated water, altitude sickness, motion sickness, and State Department bulletins.
The Travel Center is located at Sansum Clinic, 317 West Pueblo St., Santa Barbara, CA 93105. The Travel Center is staffed by a physician and registered nurse. Computerized monthly updates are received from the Center for Disease Control and the U.S. State Department to provide you with the most accurate, up-to-date information requirements from around the world.
