Planning an international trip to a vibrant destination like Ghana, Kenya, Costa Rica, Peru, or Brazil? One of the most important steps in preparing for your journey is ensuring you have the necessary travel vaccines. Not only will this help protect your health, but it will also provide you with peace of mind as you explore these exciting countries. In Columbus, Ohio, LifeCare Alliance Wellness Services’ travel vaccine clinic offers expert advice and personalized vaccine recommendations based on your specific travel needs.
Ghana is a beautiful country known for its rich history and cultural landmarks, but it also presents unique health risks for travelers. Vaccinations are crucial for preventing diseases like yellow fever, hepatitis A and B, and Typhoid. A visit to the travel vaccine clinic in Columbus, Ohio at LifeCare Alliance can ensure you receive the necessary vaccines and guidance for a safe and healthy adventure in Ghana.
Kenya’s stunning wildlife, safaris, and scenic beauty attract tourists from around the world. However, like many African countries, it has specific health risks. Vaccines for yellow fever, hepatitis A and B, and typhoid are often recommended for those traveling to Kenya. Depending on your specific itinerary, additional vaccines may be necessary, including those for meningitis and rabies. Schedule an appointment at LifeCare Alliance’s travel vaccine clinic in Columbus, Ohio, to ensure you’re properly protected before your trip to Kenya.
Costa Rica is famous for its lush rainforests, wildlife, and beaches, making it a favorite among eco-tourists. While it’s generally a safe destination, certain vaccinations are recommended for travelers, particularly for those visiting rural or remote areas. The CDC advises getting vaccines for hepatitis A, hepatitis B, typhoid, and routine vaccinations such as tetanus.
Peru’s breathtaking landscapes, from the Andes Mountains to Machu Picchu, make it an incredible destination for adventure seekers. However, travelers to Peru may face health risks such as yellow fever, hepatitis A, and typhoid. Before you embark on your Peruvian adventure, make sure you’re up-to-date on your vaccines by visiting LifeCare Alliance’s travel vaccine clinic in Columbus, Ohio. Our professional staff will provide a pre-travel assessment to ensure you’re protected from any potential health threats.
Brazil, known for its vibrant culture, beautiful beaches, and the Amazon Rainforest, is a popular destination for tourists. However, travelers should be aware of potential health risks such as yellow fever, hepatitis A and B, and typhoid.

We wanted to take a moment to honor a longtime donor and volunteer, Barbara Main, who has been a Meals-on-Wheels volunteer for the past 25 years.
Barbara first heard about LifeCare Alliance through a Bible study group at her church, where she and her fellow members, along with their husbands, began volunteering for a route on Saturdays. She was inspired to volunteer at LifeCare because, for her, ‘It’s the least I can do—to give back to those less fortunate and in need, whether they are strangers or perhaps a friend.’ She hopes that her small contribution makes a difference in someone’s life that day or week—especially when delivering her meal route.
“It gives us the opportunity to provide food for the client and check on them when we stop at their home,” Barbara says. “We get to know the people on our route and really care about them. When a client goes off the route, we get concerned and wonder if they’re ok. It is a privilege to serve each client, as they make every day so interesting and worthwhile.”
