How far in advance should I complete my consultation before my trip?

Complete your consultation at least 6–8 weeks before departure to allow time for physician review, vaccine scheduling, and immunity to develop.

We recommend completing your SafeGard consultation at least 6–8 weeks before your departure.

This allows enough time for:

  • Physician review of your medical history and travel itinerary

  • Delivery of prescriptions to your chosen pharmacy

  • Scheduling and receiving any required vaccines — especially those that require multiple doses spaced weeks apart.

  • Your body to develop protective antibodies after vaccination.

If your trip is coming up sooner, you can still use SafeGard.
