Are you planning a trip to the (sub)tropics, whether for work or vacation, for a short or extended period? Look no further than the Radboudumc Travel and Vaccination Clinic. We warmly welcome everyone seeking advice, vaccinations, health certificates, or prescriptions for conditions such as malaria, altitude sickness, and antibiotics (as needed). But our services extend beyond just travelers. Adults and children alike can visit our clinic when it’s crucial to consider the timing of vaccinations within the national vaccination program, or when additional vaccinations may be necessary. This includes scenarios such as starting or being on immunosuppressive medications, or for individuals with congenital and/or chronic illnesses.
