Travel consultation & immunizations

The Travel Consultation with a Physician service provides personalized, physician-led medical guidance to help travellers prepare for safe and healthy trips. During the consultation, a physician reviews your medical history, immunization records, and travel itinerary to assess destination-specific health risks and provide up-to-date advice, prescriptions, and immunization recommendations, including Yellow Fever when required. This service is especially recommended for pregnant individuals, young children, and those with complex medical histories, and is available by appointment or walk-in at the University Health Centre or Pharmacy. Fees range depend on the destination, with additional costs for vaccines or prescriptions, and the service is not covered by provincial health care plans.
