Overseas Protection

What protection will I need for my overseas trip?
Wherever you plan to travel overseas, whether you’re visiting developed or underdeveloped parts of the world, you need the proper health information and immunizations to protect yourself and your family against potential dangers. A few simple precautions now can prevent serious illness and other major problems later.

You get that protection at the Advocate Occupational Health Travel and Immunization Center at Good Shepherd Hospital in Barrington. We use weekly updates from the National Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and bimonthly updates from the World Health Organization (WHO) to offer you the most current required and recommended vaccinations for wherever you’re going. And we give you expert information about the additional protection and precautions you’ll need to plan a safe and healthy trip.
