View consultation detailsClose details

Pre-travel planning

A review tailored to your itinerary and health needs

What we can review
  • Routine and destination-specific immunization considerations
  • Health risks based on destinations, trip length and planned activities
  • Food and water safety, plus insect and animal bite prevention
  • Travel health kit and medication considerations
  • Whether referral to another health care provider or designated clinic is appropriate
What to bring
  • Your full itinerary and travel dates, including stopovers
  • Your immunization record or clear photos of it
  • A current list of prescription and non-prescription medications
  • Relevant medical conditions, allergies and previous vaccine reactions
  • Pregnancy, breastfeeding or immune-system information, when applicable
Book early when possibleThe Canadian Immunization Guide recommends a pre-travel consultation as early as possible, ideally at least 4 to 6 weeks before departure. A consultation may still be worthwhile when the departure date is closer.

This planned service is not currently available. A consultation does not guarantee that a vaccine or medication will be provided. Prescription-only travel medications may require assessment and a prescription from another authorized health care provider. Recommendations and any pharmacy service will depend on the traveller's needs, pharmacist assessment, the pharmacist's education, training, competence and applicable authorization, product availability, prescription requirements and pharmacy capability. An appropriate referral will be recommended when a requested service is outside those limits. Yellow fever vaccination and related certificates are available only through a federally designated Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre. Consultation fees, appointment details and product costs will be confirmed at opening.
