Travel Health

Know before you go!

Three key reasons to consult with your health care provider or travel health clinic before travelling:

  1. Understand health risks
  2. Learn personal preventative measures you may need while travelling
  3. Know what vaccines to get and when to get them

Consult your health care provider or a travel health clinic ideally, at least six weeks before departure.
