After your trip remember:
- Keep taking protective medication as directed. Some types of malaria medication must be taken for several weeks after your return.
- Store your immunization record in a safe place. It will help your travel health care provider protect you on your next vacation.
- If you feel unwell or have a fever within 3 months, see your doctor promptly and make sure to remind him or her about your trip.
For an appointment with us please call (416) 461-2419 if you:
- Spent 3 months or more in rural areas of the developing world.
- Were told you had malaria on your trip or a doctor suspected that you did.
- Were treated or hospitalized overseas for any health problem.
- Continue to have any unusual ongoing symptoms.
- Participated in high risk work activities on your trip such as: health care work or veterinary practice, archaeology, spelunking, forestry or mining, etc.
Please speak to our doctor about all of the different ways to help protect yourself against illness and disease while travelling.
It is possible to be allergic to any vaccine or its ingredients. Talk to our doctor about any allergies you have.
If you feel sick or have a fever, it is best to delay receiving a vaccination. A cold is not usually a reason to delay vaccination.
If you have a weakened immune system due to illness or treatment, you may not obtain the expected protection from a vaccine.
Some people may experience side-effects after vaccination. In most cases these are minor. Our doctor will be able to give you complete information on possible side-effects you may experience after receiving any of vaccines.
