Risk / Health Info for Ukraine
Canadian Travel Clinics can help you to organise any vaccines you need for travel in Europe. Before departing for Ukraine, you should make sure that your regular immunizations, including polio, are all up to date, as there have been reported cases in the country. Your health provider may also suggest a vaccine against hepatitis A, as there have been reported cases in the country. Tap water is best avoided; drink bottled water. It is highly recommended that you purchase travel medical insurance before you depart because your Canadian health plan may not cover medical costs while you’re in Ukraine. Contact your provincial or territorial health authority for more information.
