DEERFIELD, Ill. — Walgreens has begun offering expanded travel health services, including immunizations and consultations, to support nearly 60 million annual trips abroad by Americans.

Appointments are now available with Walgreens pharmacists specially trained in travel health, who can advise patients traveling abroad on required or recommended immunizations, prescription refills and over-the-counter medications, as well as provide destination-specific information including any known health or safety risks.

Pharmacists can also administer travel immunizations for such conditions as yellow fever, typhoid and polio vaccines as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Travel immunizations are available at more than 5,000 Walgreens stores in 41 states.

“Our pharmacists frequently interact with patients as they plan travel, and this is another way we can provide personalized services to help them best prepare and stay well while abroad,” said Jack Cantlin, Walgreens’ divisional vice president of retail clinical services. “In addition to immunizations, there’s a lot of pertinent health information people need when traveling to other parts of the world. By expanding our travel health services and spending more time with patients, Walgreens can serve as a convenient resource for all international travel needs.”

The travel health consultations are private appointments tailored to each individual’s personal medical history, travel destination and other informational needs. Customers can select a 15-minute consultation or the 30-minute version, inclusive of immunization and medication refill recommendations, a personalized travel health report and development of reference and vaccination documentation required for travel in a number of countries. Prices for consultations start at $19.99.

Travelers can also schedule an immunization-only appointment. The range of immunizations includes hepatitis A and B, Japanese encephalitis, polio, rabies, typhoid and yellow ­fever.
