Travel Vaccinations

Why do you need to be vaccinated for travel?

Vaccines are mandatory for travel to particular destinations. For example, if you have passed through an area where yellow fever is known to occur, many countries won't allow you to enter unless you have been properly vaccinated. We are a Designated Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre. Our Travel Clinic Pharmacists can vaccinate and provide a certificate of proof or waiver.

Some places require you to carry an International Certificate of Vaccination to prove that you have been vaccinated against diseases prevalent in the territory.

Common Illnesses

If you're travelling to an exotic destination, be mindful of the following common illnesses:

Other Diseases

Other diseases that travellers may need to be vaccinated against:

Should I get the flu shot?

Whether you're travelling or not, consider getting a flu shot. It's important to get this vaccination yearly because the influenza virus changes from year to year.

Medical Insurance for Travelers

You can't afford to travel without medical insurance

Whether heading across the line, across the country or across the ocean, buying travel insurance is one of the most important purchases you will make. Your provincial healthcare plan, extended benefits or credit card plan may not afford you the protection you need, and could have dire financial consequences for you. That's why we recommend you purchase TuGo™ Traveller Insurance for all of your travel needs. The TuGo™ Traveller Insurance provides up to $10 million in Emergency Medical coverage starting at just $20. For more information, to get a quote or buy online, go to LDInsurance.ca or call 1-800-681-6677 to speak with one of our qualified insurance agents.
