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.…

  • When is the last time you checked your health card? Is it expired? Do you often not bother bringing it to your appointments? Starting Dec 1, 2018, you MUST present your valid Health Card at every visit. If your health coverage is not current, you will be billed on the spot for your appointment. Don't worry, it's super easy to renew your card.  Go in person to your nearest ServiceOntario centre.  Complete a Health Card Renewal (form 4297-82).  Bring with you an original document that proves your residency in Ontario and an original document with your name and signature to prove your identity (refer to the Ontario Health Coverage Document List (form 9998E-82).
