Travel Immunizations

Travel immunizations are the routine, recommended, and required vaccines obtained prior to traveling. These help protect against the contraction of various diseases prevalent internationally. Recommendations will be made by one of our travel nurses following a comprehensive consultation appointment.

1. ROUTINE VACCINES are for both adults and children and are mandated by the Public Health Agency of Canada. Many adult travelers are behind on the completion routine immunization series and boosters. These can be administered by our team along with any missed routine vaccines.

2. RECOMMENDED VACCINES are those that offer optimal protection for specific travel destinations. Recommendations are personalized by our Travel Clinic Team. As certain immunizing agents require multiple doses for complete and long-lasting immunity, we recommend beginning the process early.

3. REQUIRED VACCINES are those that certain countries require travelers to have prior to entering. Our Travel Clinic Team is equipped with the knowledge and expertise to guide you through your destination-specific requirements.
