A 30-minute virtual visit before you travel, covering the health side of your trip: destination-specific risks, vaccination recommendations, malaria prevention where relevant, and prescriptions such as traveller’s diarrhea treatment or altitude medication when appropriate.

Benefits

  • Destination- and itinerary-specific advice, not generic tips
  • Vaccination plan based on your trip and your immunization history
  • Prescriptions for travel-related medications when appropriate
  • Advice on food/water safety, insect protection, and jet lag
  • Time to ask questions before you go, not at the airport

Who it’s for

Anyone planning international travel — especially to regions with vaccine-preventable diseases or malaria, adventure travel, or travel with underlying health conditions. Book ideally 4–6 weeks before departure, since some vaccines need lead time. You must be located in Ontario, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, or Prince Edward Island at the time of the visit.

What to expect

You’ll share your itinerary (countries, regions, dates, activities) and vaccination history in advance. During the 30-minute visit, Jennifer builds your plan: recommended vaccines, any prescriptions to your pharmacy, and practical prevention advice. Note that vaccine administration itself happens at a pharmacy or travel clinic — this visit provides the assessment, recommendations, and prescriptions.

Book ideally 4–6 weeks before departure, since some vaccines need lead time.

Before & after your visit

  • Before: Have your exact itinerary and any immunization records ready.
  • After: Book your vaccinations promptly — some need multiple doses or take weeks to become effective.
  • Downtime: None — virtual visit.
  • Results: A written plan you can act on immediately.
  • Limits: Some vaccines (e.g., yellow fever) can only be given at designated centres; Jennifer will direct you if your trip requires one. Travel advice is based on the itinerary you provide — changes to your route may change the advice.

Frequently asked questions

How far ahead should I book?
4–6 weeks before departure is ideal; sooner is better for multi-dose vaccines.

Can you prescribe malaria prevention?
Yes, when your destination requires it and the medication suits your health profile.

Do you administer the vaccines?
No — administration is done at your pharmacy or a travel clinic; this visit covers assessment, recommendations, and prescriptions.

I’m travelling next week — is it too late?
Still worth booking; some protection is better than none, and prescriptions can still help.

Which provinces?
You must be located in ON, BC, SK, or PEI at the time of the visit.
