Pre-trip Consultation

Our Travel Medicine physician will meet with you and your family to discuss your travel plans.

After gathering all the relevant information, our Travel Medicine physician will recommend a customized plan of treatment aimed to protect you during your travels. The types of immunizations and other protective measures can vary depending on your travel plans and your particular risk level. We attempt to tailor our advice to your particular needs and risk.

Consultations will cover all relevant topics including:

 Immunizations, including Yellow Fever and Meningitis Vaccines.

Detailed travel medicine reports for each country visited.

  • Advice on health concerns endemic to countries visited.
  • Detailed prevention strategies for:
    • Insect-borne diseases such as malaria, dengue fever and Japanese encephalitis.
    • Food and water-borne illness such as traveler’s diarrhea and schistosomiasis.
    • High altitude sickness.
  • Specific traveler related issues including pregnant travelers, travel with children, solo travelers and female travelers.

TB testing if applicable.

We stock all vaccines recommended onsite so that you can receive your vaccinations immediately after your consultation.

A visit usually takes up to 90 minutes and consists of two parts:

  • Travel Medicine Consultation
  • Immunization (including 15 minutes post immunization for observation; Yellow Fever requires a 30 minute post immunization stay for observation)

Travel medicine advice is not an Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) benefit. The cost per person varies, mostly because the requirements for vaccination depend on the destination. A consultation fee is only applied once in the event that more than one visit is required before departure. Discounts for families are available. Extended health insurance providers may reimburse some costs. Some immunizations are covered under OHIP, while more specific travel vaccines are at the patient’s cost.

Consultation Fees (not covered by OHIP)

  • Single adult: $65
  • Single child: $30

Injection Fees (not covered by OHIP)

  • Per injection:  $15

Vaccine Fees (not covered by OHIP)

Competively priced – varies with recommended vaccine. 

If you are shopping around for best pricing, make sure to check the cost of each of Consultation, Injection fees and the vaccine costs. We are confident that our total package in competitive and that Albany Travel Medicine can meet your travel medical needs.

Post-trip Consultations

Many illnesses may only manifest after your return to Canada. Screening for certain illnesses such as tuberculosis or intestinal parasites can save you from more serious problems later on. We can provide for the treatment of post travel-related diseases or arrange for timely consultations to specialized units if needed.

On return and as required, travelers can access post-travel medical services. Patients returning with a travel-related illness do not need a referral to visit, but an appointment is required. These visits are covered by OHIP. Due to the nature of some travel-related illnesses, a same day consultation can be arranged.

The Albany Travel Medicine Clinic is a designated Yellow Fever Clinic. We provide International Yellow Fever Certificates.
