Common questions.

All questions and answers
What is included in a travel health consultation?

We provide a one-on-one review of your health history, travel destination and full itinerary to recommend and provide the right vaccines, prescriptions and travel health tips.

How far in advance should I book my appointment before travel?

Ideally, book at least 6 to 8 weeks before your trip. This allows time for vaccines to take effect. If you're leaving sooner, we can still help with last-minute protection.

Do you have access to my previous immunization records?

No, we do not. Your immunization records stay at the site where you were vaccinated. We encourage patients to contact the site where they received previous vaccinations before their consultation appointment to request their immunization record. Whenever you receive an immunization, you should report it to Algoma Public Health. You can also request your record through ICON.

Does OHIP or private insurance cover travel vaccines or consults?

Travel vaccines and consultations are not covered by OHIP. Some private insurance plans may cover part of the cost; check with your provider.
