Travel Clinic Urges Early Bookings For Vaccines
The Department of Health is urging travelers to book appointments with the Travel Health Clinic at least 2 to 3 months in advance due to high demand.
A Government spokesperson said, “The Department of Health is advising the public that the Travel Health Clinic continues to experience exceptionally high demand for consultations and travel-related vaccinations. Due to the nature of many vaccines, which require multiple doses and time to become fully effective, travelers are strongly encouraged to book appointments at least 2 to 3 months prior to departure.
“As international travel increases, advance preparation is more important than ever. Appointments for July and August are now fully booked, and while every effort will be made to accommodate additional requests, clients may be placed on a waiting list.
“To schedule an appointment or inquire about availability, please contact the Travel Health Clinic at [441] 444-0720.
The Department of Health thanks the public for their understanding and cooperation and reminds all travelers: early planning is key to a healthy and safe journey.”

One could read this as international travelers bringing things to Bermuda that we must vaccinate against to stay healthy.
