  1. 01

    Review. Your itinerary, planned activities, current medications, and immunization history.

  2. 02

    Assess. The risks that matter for your route, and which vaccines are recommended or required for entry.

  3. 03

    Provide. Prescriptions and eligible vaccines, usually the same day. Follow-up doses are scheduled where a vaccine needs more than one.

Common questions

The things travellers ask first.

More answers on the fees page, or call and the front desk will help you choose the right appointment.

All questions
When should I book my travel consultation?

Book 6 to 8 weeks before departure whenever possible. That leaves time for vaccine series to be completed and for protection to build before you travel. Leaving sooner than that? Do not assume it is too late. Many travel vaccines and medications still provide important protection even a few days before departure, so book as soon as you know your plans.

Are vaccines and medications included in the consultation fee?

No. The consultation fee covers the travel health assessment and your personalized plan. Vaccine and medication costs are separate and vary with your destination and the products recommended. Some travel vaccines require more than one dose.

Do you offer the yellow fever vaccine?

Yes. AbroadRx appointments take place at Cunard Pharmacy & Clinic, which the Public Health Agency of Canada lists as a designated Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre. If your itinerary calls for it, the vaccine and the International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis can be provided at your appointment. For a first yellow fever vaccination the certificate becomes valid 10 days after the dose, so book with that in mind.
