What you need to know to travel safely
To be well prepared, it is recommended to consult a travel health professional 6 to 8 weeks before your departure. This allows you to receive the necessary vaccines, arrange your preventive treatments, and discuss potential risks related to your destination.
During your consultation, our team offers:
- A comprehensive evaluation of your current health status and medical history.
- A review of your itinerary and planned activities.
- Updating of routine vaccines and destination-specific vaccines.
- Prescribing preventive medications such as antimalarials or antibiotics for traveler’s diarrhea.
- Personalized advice on hygiene and preventive measures.
Required vaccines vary depending on your destination. Among the most common:
- Yellow fever: Mandatory in certain regions.
- Hepatitis A and B: Essential for many countries.
- Typhoid: Recommended for areas with limited safe drinking water.
- Rabies: Suggested for long stays or frequent contact with animals.
Yellow fever is a serious disease transmitted by infected mosquitoes. Some destinations require proof of vaccination for entry. Praxis Clinic, accredited by the Public Health Agency of Canada, offers this vaccine to protect your health and ensure compliance with your destination’s requirements.
Some countries require vaccinations to protect public health and limit the spread of diseases. These vaccines are highly effective, with protection rates ranging from 70% to 99%, and can provide long-lasting immunity, sometimes for more than 20 years. The vaccination standards we follow are established by the Quebec National Institute of Public Health (INSPQ), the Quebec Immunization Program (PIQ), as well as international organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). For more details on country-specific recommendations, please visit the National Institute of Public Health website.
