Overseas travelers who live in the Conway area can now get their travel vaccinations on the UCA campus at a clinic in partnership with the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS).
The clinic offers vaccinations for yellow fever, typhoid, hepatitis A and B, influenza, polio, pertussis/tetanus, MMR (measles, mumps and rubella), meningitis, Japanese encephalitis and rabies.
The UAMS Satellite Travel Clinic is held at the UCA Student Health Building from 1 – 4 p.m. on the third Friday of each month. Appointments are scheduled through UAMS’ main clinic at (501) 686-6565.
The satellite clinic is part of the UAMS Travel Medicine Clinic, which is operated by the UAMS Family Medical Center. It provides vaccines for a range of diseases, including yellow fever, which many countries require.
