APPOINTMENTS
This is our busy season!
If you are leaving soon and find no available slots at either clinic, you can book a video-link appointment. The same knowledgeable staff will serve you during their non-clinic hours from home. Read more about it by clicking the third box below.
Note: Yellow fever shortage
If you are travelling to South America or Africa you may need yellow fever vaccine. Please see the separate yellow fever page on this website. It explains the current shortage.
Our hours
We are open Monday, Wednesday and Friday (5 pm to 9 pm), and two Saturdays per month (10 am to 2 pm), by appointment only.
Our second location, the Riverside Travel Medicine Clinic, offers Monday, Tuesday and Thursday daytime appointments.
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.
If you are planning a long trip, visiting many countries (around-the-world or similar), please book by phone, not online. We will make sure you are given more time.
Please note that it is difficult for us to cover separate future trips. We will attend in detail to your upcoming one.
Tips
Please... don't book an appointment if you are not travelling. If you want to bring your immunizations up to date but are not travelling, kindly have this done at your doctor's office or a walk-in clinic.

Tips
- Allow at least an hour for your appointment. You will be booked with one of the doctors or nurse specialists.
- Bring a record of vaccines previously received.
- Bring a list of any medications you may be taking.
- Bring your OHIP card - we bill the province for publicly-funded vaccines such as tetanus.
- Bring the details of your itinerary if known.
- Please wear no scents.
- If your trip is multi-month and multi-country (around the world or similar), please phone for an appointment rather than booking online. We will set aside more time for you.
