You can also call us at +1 888 672 0005 for assistance.

We recommend booking your travel health consultation at least 6–8 weeks before departure to allow for multi-dose vaccines and optimal protection. However, we can also accommodate last-minute travelers with same-day appointments and accelerated vaccine schedules.

We provide a full range of travel vaccinations and we can offer malaria prophylaxis, too. Our Calgary clinic is a designated yellow fever vaccination centre, so we can provide you with a yellow fever certificate.

A consultation with a professional travel healthcare adviser

Our 30-minute appointment slots will allow you to discuss all your travel health requirements with a professional travel healthcare adviser.

You may have questions about preventing accidents, sun safety, avoiding insect and mosquito bites and best practice around food and water. Our travel health advisers are trained to answer questions about travel health safety, and they will give you advice on avoiding illness when you travel.

What will happen during my travel health appointment?

We understand that your time is important. So, we proudly present our travel health centre with zero waiting time. Just arrive five minutes before your appointment and you will be seen by our travel nurse right away.

Our specialist travel health nurse will ask you about your travel plans, including itinerary and activities. You should be completely honest about your plans. We can assure you that your consultation is completely confidential. Your nurse adviser will use this information to assess what risks you may be exposed to while you are travelling. And then they will recommend travel vaccines or malaria prophylaxis as required.

What should I bring to my travel health appointment?

It would be helpful to bring any travel vaccination certificates you already have and any vaccination records. Your travel health adviser will want details of where you plan to go and when you are travelling. And they will want to know what activities you have planned on your trip. This information will guide them as they make their vaccine recommendations.

Travellers with special requirements

We can offer longer appointments to travellers with complex needs. Just ask when you book. Examples include:

• If you are in an altered state of health because you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you may have more questions about staying well during your trip.
• If you are planning a longer trip (more than three months) with more than three destinations.
• If you are living with a long-term condition. You should also make an appointment with your usual healthcare provider to learn more about the possible effects of, for example, heat and altitude, on your condition.

Catch-up Vaccinations

We can also organize catch-up vaccinations if you need protection from illnesses normally covered by the Canadian vaccine schedule. For example:

• Chicken pox
• Diphtheria
• Pertussis (whooping cough)
• Shingles
• Tetanus

Malaria prophylaxis

We can provide malaria tablets and help you find a regime that will protect you, safely and comfortably, from malaria.

It can be difficult to work out when to start and finish malaria prophylaxis, and the advice changes with the seasons. So, our travel health nurses will draw on sources available to healthcare professionals to assess your risk of exposure. They may recommend a test course of antimalarials before you leave to ensure that you can tolerate the pills.

They will also give advice on avoiding mosquito bites, as antimalarials do not guarantee complete protection.

Tests for TB

We can administer the Mantoux test for tuberculosis (TB). Tuberculosis, is unfortunately, becoming more common. You may have been exposed at work, or during day-to-day activities in Canada. If you want to check for your own peace of mind whether you have TB, come and see us.

Why should I make a travel health appointment?

When travelling, you are exposed to health risks that are not present in Canada and you are at increased risk of contracting an illness because travelling stresses your body and affects your immune system. Getting sick while travelling can turn the trip of a lifetime into a miserable experience. It can also become costly as you may have to pay for healthcare. You can avoid some unpleasant and dangerous illnesses by getting vaccinated ahead of your trip. Don’t waste time worrying about your health while travelling, make an appointment with us today.
