When travelling outside Canada, you may be at risk for a number of vaccine preventable illnesses.

You should consult a health care provider or visit a travel health clinic preferably six weeks before you travel. This is an opportunity to:

  • review your immunization history
  • make sure your provincial/territorial vaccination schedule is up-to-date
  • discuss any trip-related health concerns you may have
  • assess your needs based on where you plan to travel and what you plan to do

You may need additional vaccinations depending on your age, planned travel activities and local conditions. Preventing disease through vaccination is a lifelong process.

Use the reference below to determine which vaccinations may be recommended or required for your destination.

Vaccination recommendations by destination

Yellow fever vaccination.

Some countries require proof that you have received a yellow fever vaccination before allowing you to enter the country. Consult an embassy or consulate of your destination country in Canada for up-to-date information on its entry and exit requirements before you travel abroad.

Other countries may require you to have been vaccinated for yellow fever if you have passed through an area where yellow fever may occur .

Proof of vaccination must be documented on an International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis . You must carry the original certificate with you.

In Canada, the vaccination is only given at designated yellow fever vaccination centres .

Immunization records

  • Download the free CANImmunize app from the iOS App Store or Google Play, and manage your family’s vaccination records on the go.

Travel Health Pharmasave Provides Excellent Patient Care

Travel Health Pharmasave in Assiniboine Receives Excellent Feedback from Patients

With the holidays right around the corner, many people are booking international vacations. Ryan Buffie, a travel health pharmacist in Winnipeg is helping people prepare for their trips by providing information on vaccinations and medication at his travel health clinic.

One patient who recently visited Ryan’s pharmacy stated, “ Ryan was extremely professional and more than knowledgeable about the vaccinations that were needed for our upcoming vacation. Ryan worked with us diligently through e-mail to ensure he understood everything that we needed as we live five hours north of Winnipeg and it was a huge effort for us to attend the pharmacy. Once arriving there he took extra time (well after closing time!!) to make sure we understood all the risks and limitations of the vaccines. He even prepared a package with information about the areas we were visiting and general travel safety information. Ryan then sent a follow up e-mail to us with all the dates that were required for follow up doses ”.

Ryan is the manager/ owner of Pharmasave Assiniboine and has received excellent feedback from people he serves. “ His pharmacy is clean and organized and all the staff were pleasant to deal with. I only wish we lived closer as I would by-pass many pharmacies to deal with this one ”. We set up an interview to learn more about Ryan’s clinic and the role of travel health pharmacists in Manitoba.

Q: Could you tell us a bit about yourself? Where you went to school, how long you’ve been a practicing pharmacist, and if you have always had an interest in travel health?

A: I graduated from the University of Manitoba in 2001, along with my business partner and lifelong friend, Kris. I have worked in community pharmacy since then, and have always loved travelling. My wife Jennifer and I have visited over 20 countries on 5 continents, and we have started to take our young children travelling as well. Before a trip in 2006 we visited a travel health clinic in Winnipeg to get some required vaccines. The travel physician’s passion for what he did sparked something in me. Once pharmacists became able to administer injections in Manitoba in 2014, I started to formulate a plan of how I could incorporate travel health into my practice. When we opened Assiniboine Pharmacy in 2015, we knew that travel health services would be in our future.

Q: Can you talk a little bit about the pharmacy scope of travel health in Manitoba right now?

A: Pharmacists in Manitoba are currently limited in providing travel health services on their own. A pharmacist wishing to conduct travel health consultations would need to collaborate with a practitioner who can prescribe the required vaccines and medications. This could involve contacting the patient’s family physician, sending them to a walk-in clinic with a list of required items, or finding a prescriber to be involved with the consultation service. The first two options are not always successful and can be inconvenient for the patient. The College of Pharmacists of Manitoba is working on a travel health prescribing framework for qualified pharmacists, but this has not yet come into effect.

Q: Can you tell us about your Pharmasave travel health clinic and what is unique about it?

A: Assiniboine Pharmacy is focused on helping patients. We want our patients to feel like they are at a small-town neighbourhood pharmacy within a large city. We strive to make meaningful relationships with our patients and help them be as healthy as possible.

We have partnered with a local physician to prescribe for our travel health consultations. He is involved in all our consultations. This allows required vaccinations to be administered, and medications to be prescribed and dispensed all during one appointment (unless follow up vaccination doses are required). This collaboration also expands the scope of our travel health offering, giving us access to information and services that may not otherwise be available to pharmacists such as, patient lab tests, results, the full range of publicly funded vaccinations, and follow-up physician care as required.

What makes us unique is that we are the first pharmacist-led travel health consultation service in the city of Winnipeg. We are also the only pharmacist-led Health Canada certified Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre in Winnipeg. Our physician collaboration model is also the first of its kind in Manitoba that we are aware of.

Q: Why do you think it is important for Pharmacists to be trained in travel health?

A: Pharmacists are accessible, knowledgeable, and can be certified to administer vaccinations. These qualities lend themselves to a practice in travel health. Also, in many areas of the country, there is a shortage of qualified travel health services. Improving patient access to travel health services should help Canadians return from their travels healthy. This in turn should reduce hospital and physician visits, and time missed from work. As international travel increases, the demand for travel health services will increase as well.

Q: What kind of training do pharmacists need to be certified in travel health?

A: Each province has its own regulations around what pharmacists can administer and prescribe. In Manitoba, pharmacists are currently unable to prescribe any travel health medications, but can administer any vaccine pursuant to a prescription. We hope that this will change in the coming years, and that qualified pharmacists will be able prescribe vaccinations and medications for travel health.

Providing a comprehensive travel health service, however, requires more than just prescribing and administering vaccinations. There is a vast amount of knowledge required to ensure that patients are adequately prepared to visit the myriad destinations around the world. Different countries have different health risks, and some countries may require proof of certain vaccinations upon arrival or departure. On top of this, health risks in various countries change over time. It is up to the travel health practitioner to be aware of all this information and ensure they stay up to date with changing health risks. Frankly, pharmacists should not aspire to dabble in travel health; it is a dynamic field that requires daily learning. Obtaining a Certificate in Travel Health (CTH) from the International Society of Travel Medicine (ISTM) is a good starting point.

Q: You’ve received excellent feedback from patients about you and your clinic, why do you think this is?

A: Firstly, I think my passion for travel helps. I like to find out why people have chosen various destinations, and am always excited when I can share firsthand knowledge of the country to which they are going. Secondly, I feel that we provide a comprehensive service. At our pharmacy, we have all the potentially required vaccines and medications in stock as well as bug sprays, sunscreens, mosquito nets etc. so patients can leave their appointment without having to go somewhere else. Thirdly, I take a lot of time with patients to ensure they understand the health risks and benefits of their destination, and financial aspects of their vaccinations and/or medications. I also ensure that I educate patients about preventative measures unrelated to medications and vaccines. This is probably the most important part of the consultation since no medications or vaccinations are 100% effective. I leave plenty of time between appointments so that I never need to rush someone out the door – patients have as much time with me as they want to have all their questions answered. And finally, I think I do a pretty good injection!

Ryan Buffie is the manager/ owner of Pharmasave Assiniboine and we thank him for taking the time to do this interview, and the excellent patient care he provides to patients at his travel health clinic.

Manitobans should get up to date on measles vaccinations before travelling, province says

Measles cases spreading worldwide, though none confirmed in manitoba: chief provincial public health officer.

A needle is jabbed into an arm.

Social Sharing

Manitobans who are booking flights might also want to consider booking an appointment with their doctor to see if they need a measles vaccine, the province says.

Though no cases of measles have been confirmed in Manitoba, the province's chief public health officer says travellers should make sure they're up to date on their measles vaccinations before going to any international destinations, as measles cases continue to rise worldwide .

"It's highly infectious and it can be highly serious," Dr. Brent Roussin told CBC News earlier this week.

"We really want to have that message out to adults and children, especially if you're travelling."

  • Winnipeg mom wants province to make it easier to access vaccine records amid measles uptick
  • Measles cases in Canada spark call for pop-up vaccine clinics in Winnipeg's inner city

People travelling should see their doctor or go to a travel clinic four to six weeks ahead of their trip, the province said in a news release Friday.

Roussin said even people born before 1970 — who are generally presumed to be immune to the highly contagious disease — should still get a shot if they're travelling internationally.

"Before 1970 we consider most people have been exposed very likely to measles and have some level of immunity," he said. "Now we ... suggest those people receive one dose."

Adults born after should make sure they have two doses. Children can first receive the vaccine at 12 months and again between ages four and six, the province said.

Infants between six and 12 months are also eligible for one dose if they are travelling to countries where measles is a concern.

  • As measles cases rise worldwide, local health officials urge you to check your vaccine status

Though the disease was eradicated in Canada in 1998, Roussin said the country still sees sporadic cases related to travelling. As of earlier this week, fewer than 20 cases of measles have been confirmed throughout Canada.

While the most recognized symptom of measles is a red, blotchy rash that often starts on the face, other symptoms are fever, runny nose, cough drowsiness, irritability and red eyes, the province said.

International travel increases your chances of getting and spreading diseases that are rare or not found in United States. Find out which travel vaccines you may need to help you stay healthy on your trip.

Before Travel

Make sure you are up-to-date on all of your routine vaccines . Routine vaccinations protect you from infectious diseases such as measles that can spread quickly in groups of unvaccinated people. Many diseases prevented by routine vaccination are not common in the United States but are still common in other countries.

Check CDC’s destination pages for travel health information . Check CDC’s webpage for your destination to see what vaccines or medicines you may need and what diseases or health risks are a concern at your destination.

Make an appointment with your healthcare provider or a travel health specialist  that takes place at least one month before you leave. They can help you get destination-specific vaccines, medicines, and information. Discussing your health concerns, itinerary, and planned activities with your provider allows them to give more specific advice and recommendations.

Because some vaccines require multiple doses, it’s best to see your health care provider as soon as possible.

Medicines to prevent malaria are pills that you start to take before travel. Take recommended medicines as directed. If your health care provider prescribes medicine for you, take the medicine as directed before, during, and after travel. 

Where can I get travel vaccines?

You may be able to get some travel vaccines from your primary healthcare provider. If you or your healthcare provider need help finding a location that provides certain vaccines or medicines, visit CDC’s Find a Clinic page.

If yellow fever vaccine is recommended or required for your destination, you’ll need to go to a vaccine center authorized to give yellow fever vaccinations. Many yellow fever vaccine centers also provide other pre-travel health care services. Find an  authorized US yellow fever vaccine center .

Examples of Vaccines

Here is a list of possible vaccines that you may need to get for the first time or boosters before you travel.

  • Cholera 
  • Flu (Influenza)
  • Hepatitis A   
  • Hepatitis B   
  • Japanese encephalitis   
  • MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella)

COVID vaccines don’t cause cancer. But false claims persist in sea of misinformation

Among the most widely debunked claims is that vaccines developed with messenger RNA technology can cause cancer because they contain “monkey virus DNA.”

Such claims were even repeated during a U.S. congressional hearing on vaccine injuries last year, but North American and European health authorities have stressed that there is no proof of a causal link between COVID vaccines and cancer, or that mRNA vaccines can alter human DNA in any way.

In a sea of misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines, a debunked claim that inoculation against the disease can cause cancer remains especially dangerous for vulnerable patients seeking answers about their diagnosis, experts say.

A senior policy analyst with the Canadian Cancer Society also debunked such claims while noting the added harm of false beliefs is that they can derail the deployment of proven therapies.

“Misinformation can increase vaccine hesitancy and can delay the provision of health care,” Apiramy Jeyapalan said in an emailed statement.

The fact that cancer patients and others may still be exposed to that kind of misinformation online and elsewhere is very concerning and shouldn’t be ignored by the medical and scientific community, says a Canadian scientist whose areas of expertise include health literacy.

Cheryl Peters, a senior scientist at BC Cancer and the BC Centre for Disease Control, said going through cancer treatment is “a highly vulnerable time,” especially for patients who are feeling overwhelmed and may be susceptible to information from dubious sources.

“We have to be aware that these things are circulating and be aware that our friends and family could be getting exposed to these conspiracy theories that might really actually materially harm them if they listen to them,” Peters said.

She noted that people who spread vaccine misinformation online attribute all sorts of things – from heart attacks to sudden deaths – to COVID shots. So when it comes to false claims, for example, that the vaccines are also the reason younger age groups are seeing higher rates of certain types of cancer than previously, “your Spidey senses should go up.”

“There’s no sort of one exposure to something — whether it be a vaccine or other (things) — that’s going to be able to cause every single kind of negative health outcome. That’s just not how our biology works,” Peters said.

Dr. Aaron Schimmer, director of research at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre in Toronto, said he believes the level of misinformation surrounding COVID vaccines has decreased over time, but acknowledged that false claims still creep up.

“I think a number of patients, especially around the time when the vaccines were introduced, if they were newly diagnosed with cancer around that time … would say, ‘Well, you know, my cancer was caused by the vaccine.’ Of course, again, biologically that’s not true. Those cancers have been there probably growing slowly (over) many years,” he said.

Schimmer, who mainly treats leukemia in his clinical practice, said none of his own patients have raised specific conspiracy theories about vaccines and cancer, “but I’ve definitely had patients who’ve had concerns about the vaccine, the safety and questions as to whether the vaccine was the trigger for their cancer.”

The irony, Schimmer said, is that mRNA vaccines were being tested as potential cancer treatment long before the COVID pandemic hit. The idea is that mRNA could train an individual’s immune system to target specific cancer cells.

“It was the investments that were being made at the time to understand how these may work as cancer treatments that actually allowed us to generate a COVID vaccine so quickly,” he said.

Peters, the BC Cancer scientist, said mRNA vaccines have great value and there is promising work to be done with them in the future. But she wonders if the science behind that is being properly translated and communicated to the masses.

“That’s a bit of an existential question for science in general, I think,” she said.

Samara Perez, a clinical psychologist in the psychosocial oncology department of McGill University Health Centre in Montreal, says the vast majority of patients consider doctors and health-care professionals to be the most trusted sources of information, and research over the years has backed that up.

Even though a cancer diagnosis can set off a range of psychological responses, such as depression and anxiety, Perez does not believe a particular vulnerability to misinformation is among them.

“I think people that are susceptible to misinformation prior to (getting) cancer would be the same after,” said Perez, who is also a professor at McGill University, noting that she debunks any cancer myths raised by her patients “right away.”

Both Schimmer and Peters said there’s nothing wrong with a healthy dose of skepticism when it comes to making personal medical choices. Peters said she also understands why some patients – especially those from historically marginalized communities – distrust the system.

But that’s where doctors, scientists and health-care authorities have to step up and ensure that they are being upfront about the rare, but real, vaccine side-effects and other potential negative outcomes, she said, noting that transparency goes a long way toward building trust.

A study co-authored by Peters and published earlier this year found that Canadians were better at identifying known cancer risk factors, such as tobacco use, than recognizing cancer myths.

For example, more than half of survey respondents incorrectly believed that stress and consuming additives increases cancer risk. Between 20 and 30 per cent believed risk is increased by wearing deodorant, using hair dye, living near power lines and “having bad luck.” But the vast majority of respondents did not believe that vaccination, in general, is a risk factor.

Peters believes that myths and misinformation now play a bigger role in health-care choices people make than in the past because “we all have basically unlimited access to information” – and some people are intentionally peddling false claims online so they can profit from unproven “remedies.”

“And that, I think, is not a problem that’s going away,” Peters added. “Cancer patients and other people with chronic conditions really need support.”

The Canadian Cancer Society advises people to approach unverified sources of information with caution. On its website, the society aims to dispel some common myths – such as the belief that certain foods can prevent or cure cancer – and urges people who have questions or are unsure about something to call its cancer information helpline.

“For people with cancer, talk to your health-care team about which of the approved COVID-19 vaccines is right for you, and to determine the best timing of the doses based on your unique circumstance,” the society said in a statement.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published March 23, 2024.
