Adult & Travel Immunization Information

Preparing for international travel is more than getting shots and your passport. Destinations and related health issues, along with personal safety, vary widely and need to be considered on an individual basis.

The Indiana State Department of Health wants Hoosiers who travel to have a healthy and safe international experience. An international travel clinic is the best resource for discussing international travel immunizations. For more information on international travel, including clinics offered around the state,, visit this Indiana State Dept. of Health web page.

Locally, the Dearborn County Nursing Division provides the Adult Hepatitis A Immunizations @ $25.00 per dose/ 2 dose series and the Adult Hepatitis B immunizations @ $25.00 per dose/3 dose series. Contact us for more details.

We also offer Adult Pneumococcal vaccinations.
