Why should I get Travel Vaccines?
Travel vaccines are among the most important and effective ways to prevent travel-related infections. Simple precautions and good preparation can minimize the risk of contracting diseases inherent to remote tourist areas all around the globe.
Travelers may be at risk for the following serious infectious diseases - all of which are preventable by vaccine:
- Cholera
- Hepatitis A & B
- Influenza
- Japanese encephalitis
- Meningitis
- Rabies
- Typhoid Fever
- Yellow Fever
Vaccines can be given:
Orally, intramuscularly or subcutaneously depending on the vaccine.
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.
