APPOINTMENTS
April 2019: The yellow fever vaccine shortage has eased for the time being. We now offer full dose to those requiring the vaccine. The following paragraph therefore will apply only if our supply again falls too low.
(There is a North America-wide shortage of yellow fever vaccine. Please read the "Yellow fever shortage" page on this website and then call the clinic at 613-825-6200 if you think you may need yellow fever vaccine (certain trips to Panama, South America and Africa only). We may be unable to provide the vaccine to people who have booked online. )

A typical appointment
Based on your itinerary, we discuss which vaccines we think are worthwhile and which are not, malaria prevention (when applicable), and provide advice on preventing illness such as Zika, dengue, diarrhea and more. We administer the vaccines at that first visit and commonly a second trip to our clinic is not necessary. We provide a prescription for malaria medication when needed and for antibiotics in case of severe diarrhea.
