Travel Consultations
Reduce Your Risk
If you are travelling outside of Canada or the United States, we offer travel consultations for many common travel destinations such as: Mexico, Dominican Republic, Cuba, Jamaica, and more!
Less common travel destinations may require an assessment from a specialized travel clinic.
Our travel consultation fee is $25 per person and must be booked in advance.
This service includes, but is not limited to:
-
Vaccine review:
-
Travel vaccines such as hepatitis A and B, and typhoid fever, and traveler's diarrhea
-
Routine vaccines such as annual influenza, COVID, pneumococcal, tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough), shingles, and more
-
Note: vaccines that are not covered by Alberta Health require an administration fee of $20 per injection. Unfortunately, this fee cannot be direct billed to your insurance by the pharmacy. However, it can be reimbursed by some private insurance plans if you are able to manually submit it to your insurance yourself
-
-
Travel prescriptions
-
You may benefit from having antibiotics on hand in case of traveler's diarrhea, medications for malaria prevention, and more
-
-
Assessment for other medications for minor ailments such as upset stomach, diarrhea, mild pain, and more
It is beneficial to see a health professional 1 to 2 months before leaving for your trip to ensure you are adequately prepared.
Please bring the following items to the pharmacy when coming in for your travel consultation:
-
List of your current medications (if not a regular patient at our pharmacy)
-
Your vaccination history
-
Your travel itinerary including dates you are abroad
Every travel consultation is unique as no two patients are the same and recommendations may differ depending on your destination!
