Travel medicine
Planning travel? Start your vaccines early.
Travel vaccines depend on destination, trip duration, activities, and history. Multi-dose vaccines need spacing of weeks apart, so plan ahead.
Timing
Ideally 6 to 8 weeks before departure. Twinrix is a multi-dose series. The rabies pre-exposure series takes a minimum of 3 weeks.
Yellow fever
Yellow fever requires a designated travel-health clinic and an official certificate. We refer you to the right Edmonton clinic and advise on which destinations require proof of vaccination for entry.
