Visit the clinic without leaving your couch

The VCH Travel Clinic now offers an e-mail consultation service for $60. If you simply need a travel prescription or travel advice, connect with our specialized travel doctor. This service works best for experienced travelers, who have had most of their shots and who have visited the Travel Clinic before, or who don’t have a travel clinic in their community.

For an e-mail consult, please fill out on-line questionnaire and submit it. Emails will be answered within three to five working days.

Plan ahead

Please schedule your appointment four to six weeks prior to your departure, since many vaccines require time to take affect. In-person consultations are $45, plus the cost of any vaccinations.

Travel supplies

The clinic also offers a variety of travel supplies and products including:

  • Water purifiers
  • Mosquito nets & repellent
  • Florastor
  • Bed bug spray
  • Compression socks
  • Whiz Easy – allows women to urinate while standing

Non-travel vaccinations

We also offer non-travel vaccines such as the meningitis and shingles vaccines.
