Planning travel this winter?   Visit www.travel.gc.ca and click on the Health tab to get a list of  recommended vaccines and health alerts for your chosen destination.  Travel consultations are NOT an OHIP covered service, so be aware that appointments booked at the clinic for travel advice will include a charge of $50.00 per person. 
WRHA Travel Health in Winnipeg also provides travel services by appointment (fees are dependent upon destination, complexity & number of people). 
​If you have already determined which vaccine/medication prescriptions you require, submit your request to the clinic, either in person or by email to rlma@redlakehospital.ca.  Note that prescriptions for travel vaccines and medications are also non-insured services and will cost an additional $25.00 each.  
Please remember that some immunizations involve a series of injections one or more months apart and full immunity cannot be developed 'at the last minute'. Plan ahead when possible and make sure you are at least up to date on the following publicly funded vaccines in Ontario. http://www.health.gov.on.ca/…/immunization_poster_lifespan.…
