ABOUT US
WHO ARE WE?

Travel Can Be Stressful, but Your Health Doesn’t Have to Be

We offer vaccines for healthy living, like meningitis for college students, rabies for veterinarians, or hepatitis A for restaurant workers, even if you’re not traveling.

JmBee Travel Health Clinic is a Massachusetts-owned and independently operated travel vaccine and travel medicine clinic, specializing in the immunizations and health guidance needed for international travel. With convenient locations in Western and Central Massachusetts and the Boston area, we are a go-to resource for travelers preparing for trips abroad. We also regularly see residents from nearby states like Connecticut, New Hampshire, and Vermont who are searching for a travel clinic near them. Many doctors’ offices, pharmacies, and boards of health don’t have access to specialty travel vaccines and refer patients to our clinics.

Good health is priceless, and many diseases can be prevented with vaccination, planning, and medication.  We won’t have you waiting in a crowded lobby well past your appointment time only to find out the vaccines you need aren’t available.  Because we specialize in traveler’s health, we keep hard-to-find vaccines available at all our offices, including yellow fever, typhoid fever, human rabies vaccine, polio, and Japanese encephalitis among others. 

We keep hard-to-find travel vaccines in stock at all three of our Massachusetts locations

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a referral from my physician for an appointment?

A referral is not required to be seen for an appointment at JmBee Travel Health Clinic.

Do I need to complete paperwork before I arrive for the appointment?

Yes, once your appointment is confirmed, a secure online questionnaire will be sent to your email. Once submitted, you do not need to download or print your answers.

Do you allow walk-ins without an appointment?

No. Patient consultations typically last 30 to 60 minutes and must be scheduled in advance by booking online or calling our office.

If I’m traveling with my family or part of a group to the same country, can we book an appointment together?

Yes! We can accommodate up to 4 people in a group appointment. Keep in mind that specific health questions may be asked as part of the visit. If you are not comfortable sharing details about your health history in a group setting, it is best to schedule an individual appointment.

What should I bring to my appointment?

Please arrive with any personal vaccine records, including childhood cards, so the nurse can give you the best recommendations for your trip. Photos of vaccine records are helpful too!

Do I get the vaccines during the first appointment?

Yes, any immunizations you choose to receive will be given during the first appointment and your vaccination record will be updated or a new record printed for you.

Which vaccines need more than 1 dose?

Some vaccines do require multiple shots (boosters) within the first few weeks or months.  At the end of your first appointment, a follow-up visit will be scheduled.

  • Hepatitis A
  • Hepatitis B
  • Japanese Encephalitis
  • Rabies

Other vaccines, such as Typhoid Fever, may need to be repeated after a few years.  

Do you have the Yellow Fever vaccine in stock?

Yes! JmBee Travel Health Clinic is a Yellow Fever vaccination site authorized by the CDC and is registered with the Massachusetts Department of Public Health.

The clinic has an official Yellow Fever stamp that is placed inside the “yellow card.”

How do I show proof I received the Yellow Fever vaccine?

During your appointment, the Yellow Fever vaccine will be documented in an immunization booklet commonly known as the “yellow card.”  Its official name is the International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP).  

The nurse will also use an official stamp and fill the “yellow card” out completely using your name from a government-issued ID.  

How do I know which vaccines I should receive?

As part of your appointment, staff will discuss recommended or required vaccines based on the country you are traveling to.  Your immunization and health history are considered before providing specific recommendations and to ensure you can safely receive the vaccines.

Staff at JmBee Travel Health Clinic are specially trained to follow CDC and World Health Organization guidelines and have access to up-to-date country- and region-specific information to ensure you get the vaccines needed. 

Will the vaccines I receive be sent to my physician?

Yes, if you give consent, a record of any vaccines you receive will be securely sent to your medical provider’s office. 

Additionally, all vaccines will be reported electronically to the Massachusetts Immunization Information System (MIIS).  MIIS is a statewide system for reporting immunizations to ensure an electronic version of your vaccine history is always available regardless of where you receive your shots. 

Will I receive a malaria prescription as part of the appointment?

Yes, if you are traveling to a country or region where malaria is a risk, a prescription for malaria is included in the office visit fee. 

An electronic prescription will be sent to a pharmacy of your choice after your appointment.  

Can you provide prescriptions for my regular medications?

JmBee Travel Health Clinic is not a primary care provider and cannot provide prescriptions outside of our scope of practice. 

In some cases, a prescription for traveler’s diarrhea and/or high-altitude sickness can be sent to your pharmacy via electronic ordering. 

What is your cancellation policy?

If you cancel less than 48 hours before your appointment, you will be charged a $50 fee.

What forms of payment do you accept?

We accept all major credit cards, including American Express and Discover, as well as debit cards. 

Cash is also accepted.

Please call our office to request an estimate for services

Do you accept health insurance?

JmBee Travel Health Clinic is not in network with health insurance plans.  Any vaccinations received, including the fee for the office visit, will be charged at the end of the appointment.  

Many health insurance plans do not cover travel vaccinations and require their members to pay out-of-pocket. 

We suggest checking with your health insurance first to see whether they offer reimbursement.

Will you provide me with an itemized receipt that I can turn in to my health plan?

Yes, at the end of your appointment, you will receive an itemized invoice, also known as a Superbill, showing insurance codes and charges you paid. If you choose, you can send this to your health plan and sometimes it will apply to your deductible or you may receive a refund from your insurance plan.
