Statement from the PHAC (Public Health Agency of Canada)

"When travelling outside of Canada, you may be at risk for a number of vaccine preventable illnesses.  You should consult a Health Care Provider or visit a Travel Health Specialist preferably 6 weeks before you travel.  You may need additional vaccines depending on your age, planned travel activities and local conditions.  Preventing disease through vaccination is a lifelong process."

TRAVEL HEALTH SPECIALIST (THS)

Travel Health Specialists have in-depth knowledge of immunizations, risks associated with specific destinations, and the implications of travelling with underlying conditions. Therefore, a comprehensive consultation with a Travel Health Specialist is indicated for ALL travellers and is particularly important for those with complicated health history, special risks (such as travelling at HIGH ALTITUDES, or working in REFUGE CAMPS), or Exotic and Complicated Itineraries.
