Overview
Schools, employers and visa offices each want documents in their own shape. Sometimes free-form is fine; sometimes a doctor has to sign a specific sheet of paper.
We see international patients every day and write documents in English as a matter of course. Bring the form you were given and we will fill it in with you.

Before You Book
Does health insurance cover this?
Travel vaccinations are not covered by Japanese health insurance and are paid out of pocket. We explain the cost during your consultation.
I am leaving soon. Is there still time?
We work with the time you have. Even for vaccines that need several doses, there is often a way to fit in the doses that count most before you go. If we cannot finish in time, we explain what to watch for at your destination and what to do if you fall ill there.
Can I be vaccinated on the day I come in?
Yes, for vaccines we have in stock. Some have to be ordered in, so please call ahead if you already know what you need.
I am worried about side effects. What can happen?
Pain, redness or swelling where you were injected, along with fever, are the most common. We explain what can happen and what to do about it before you are vaccinated, and we observe you in the clinic afterwards.
