When travelling abroad, you may be at risk for a number of illnesses that can be prevented by vaccination. As you age, the protection you received against many illnesses through vaccination
may decrease or your risk for getting certain diseases may increase. Your pre-travel health assessment provides an opportunity to review your immunization history, get you up-to-date according to your
provincial/territorial immunization program and assess your needs based on your individual health, where you plan to travel and what you plan to do. Additional vaccines may be recommended
depending on your age, expected travel activities and local conditions. Remember that preventing
disease through vaccination is a lifelong process.
REQUIRED VACCINATIONS
Before entering some countries, you may be required to have an International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis, showing that you’ve received a yellow fever vaccination. Other countries may require proof of yellow fever vaccination if you’ve passed through an area where yellow fever
may occur. Without such proof, you may be refused entry, quarantined or vaccinated.
