Travel Vaccines

Travel Vaccines

Our nurses receive continuously updated information from The Public Health Agency of Canada on the constantly changing health situations around the world in order to provide patients with the correct information and precautions required for their travel destination. Travel Vaccines are offered Monday to Friday 7am to 3pm. Please feel free to call with any travel-related questions you may have.

Our nurses can provide clients with printed country detailed travel vaccine information such as:

• Recommended advice, depending on the travel destination
• Canadian embassy coordinates for each country
• Country Report (risk areas for malaria, hepatitis, and other infectious diseases)
• Places of Interest Report (Matchu Pitchu, Kilimanjaro and others)
• Medical resources by country (hospitals and urgent care centers)
• HIV/AIDS : Country requirements

If you are planning to travel outside of Canada, you may require vaccination, depending on your travel destination, the length of your stay and whether or not your routine immunizations are up-to-date. Since it can take several weeks for an immunization to protect you against a disease, have a consultation with us 6 to 8 weeks before your trip in order to allow enough time for the vaccines to take effect.

To schedule an appointment for a travel vaccine, please contact us.
