Frequently Asked Questions

Your child’s routine vaccinations should be up to date for all travel.

Flu shots are encouraged for travel during flu season – usually from November to April.

Covid vaccination is encouraged.

Most usual southern or resort-type destinations do not require additional vaccines but Hepatitis A and B (Twinrix, Twinrix Junior, Havrix/Avaxim ) are encouraged. OHIP does not cover these vaccines but can be purchased and administered at our office. Other non-resort types of southern travel such as family destination visits, ’off road’ type travel and extended duration visits may require individual advice and an appointment to discuss with your child’s doctor would be important.

Other destinations including South Asia, South East Asia, Central America, South America, and Africa require individual advice and may require prescriptions to prevent local disease as well as immunization. Please book a travel appointment to discuss this with your child's doctor.

Please note that the cost of travel appointments and the cost of travel vaccines are NOT covered by OHIP and will be billed at the time of the visit.
