Why get vaccinated before you travel?

Deciding whether to vaccinate is an important decision, one that can have potentially dire consequences. The very concept of vaccines is subject to a number of myths and prejudices. But, since vaccines can help prevent serious infections that can have permanent side effects, it's important to weigh the pros and cons carefully before you decide. For example, when traveling outside your country, you may be at greater risk of contracting certain types of infections your body has never been exposed to before, ones that can be prevented by getting vaccinated. So, depending on your destination and the conditions there, certain vaccines may be recommended or even mandatory.

Travelling Abroad? Be Sure to Plan Ahead!

It is extremely important to protect yourself against disease when travelling outside of Canada. Thankfully, many diseases that are common in other countries are not common in Canada. For this reason, we recommend booking an appointment to discuss your healthcare and vaccination needs prior to travelling. Our team will ensure that you have a clear idea of what travel vaccinations are required and recommended for your travels. We will also plan out a travel vaccination schedule to help make the process easy and seamless for you.

We recommend planning ahead as some travel vaccinations require a booster a few weeks after your initial dose. We want to ensure you’re as safe and healthy as possible before embarking on your latest adventure!

10 Ways to Stay Healthy While Travelling

  • Wash your hands with soap and water before eating, or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer containing at least 60% alcohol.
  • Use an insect repellent, during both day and night. DEET 30% or icaridin (picaridin) 20% are the most effective options.
  • Use sealed bottled water or chemically treated, filtered, or boiled water for drinking and for brushing teeth.
  • Consume foods that are fully cooked and served hot, avoid street food and buffets, and avoid unpasteurized dairy. If you can’t peel it, boil it or cook it-don’t eat it! Many fruits and vegetables are contaminated by untreated water, bacteria and viruses.
  • Avoid walking barefoot on sand, dirt, or mud to prevent parasitic skin infections.
  • Use sunscreen of at least 30 SPF liberally and often. When using along with insect repellants, apply the sunscreen before applying the repellant. Do not use combination products.
  • Do not pet or feed dogs, cats or other domestic animals. Avoid contact with all wild animals, including monkeys.
  • Motor vehicle accidents are the top cause of injury and death amongst travelers. Wear a seat belt.
  • Purchase travel medical insurance that covers both your destination and your activities, and have that information easily accessible.
  • Seek the advice of a travel health professional, including advice on malaria prevention, travellers’ diarrhea, and vaccinations.
