General Questions
General Travel Clinic Questions
Common questions about NEOMO Travel Clinic, travel consultations, travel vaccines, payment, insurance receipts, and yellow fever vaccination in Greater Sudbury.
What is a travel clinic?
A travel clinic provides vaccinations, medications, and health advice to help protect travellers from illnesses that may be common in their destination.
Are travel vaccines covered by OHIP?
Travel vaccinations and consultations are generally not covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan, also known as OHIP, because they are considered elective services. Some routine immunizations, such as tetanus, polio, and measles, may be covered by OHIP. Many private insurance plans may cover part of the cost of travel immunizations.
Do I need an appointment?
Yes. Appointments are required for travel consultations and travel vaccinations at NEOMO Travel Clinic.
What should I bring to my travel consultation?
Please bring a list of your past vaccines if available, your travel itinerary including destinations and duration, and a list of medications you are currently taking.
How much do travel vaccines cost?
Travel vaccine prices vary. A travel consultation is required to determine which vaccines you may need. Some insurance plans may offer partial reimbursement.
What forms of payment do you accept?
NEOMO Travel Clinic accepts credit, debit, and cash. Payment is due at the time of service.
Can I submit travel vaccine costs to my insurance?
Yes. Many private insurance plans cover travel vaccines. NEOMO Travel provides itemized receipts that you can submit for reimbursement.
Do travel vaccines have side effects?
Most side effects are mild and temporary, such as soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or fatigue. Serious reactions are rare, and our team is available to address any concerns.
Do you provide prescriptions for traveller’s diarrhea?
Yes. NEOMO Travel can provide travel prescription guidance, including antibiotics and over-the-counter recommendations to help prevent or treat traveller’s diarrhea when appropriate.

Individual Travellers
FAQs for Individual Travellers
Travel health answers for solo travellers, couples, vacationers, backpackers, snowbirds, and travellers visiting tropical or higher-risk destinations.
When should I book a travel consultation before my trip?
Book as early as possible, ideally several weeks before departure. Some travel vaccines need time to become effective or may require more than one dose.
Do I need vaccines for Mexico, the Caribbean, South America, Africa, or Asia?
Vaccine recommendations depend on your exact destination, itinerary, activities, health history, and previous immunizations. A travel consultation helps identify what is recommended or required.
Can I get travel prescriptions without a full consultation?
Some travel prescription requests may be appropriate through a prescription-only pathway. NEOMO Travel can review requests for medications such as malaria prevention, traveller’s diarrhea, altitude sickness, motion sickness, and Dukoral when appropriate.
Do I need malaria prevention medication?
Malaria prevention depends on your destination, length of stay, activities, accommodations, and health profile. A travel consultation can help determine whether malaria prevention medication is recommended.
Can you help with Dukoral or traveller’s diarrhea prevention?
Yes. NEOMO Travel can provide guidance on Dukoral, traveller’s diarrhea prevention, food and water precautions, and travel prescriptions when appropriate.
Can I get documentation for vaccines I receive?
