Travel Health

When booking clients to various sun destinations, I am often asked about whether vaccinations are required, or other health risks.  As everyone's health situation is different, your family doctor or a travel health clinic are the best people to advise you on what is right for you.

I do suggest clients visit the government of Canada's informational website for Travel Health Advice here:  http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/tmp-pmv/index-eng.php


ZIKA - as you've heard in the news lately, the Zika virus is circulating through the Caribbean plus the warmer southern USA states.

Both the CDC and the Canadian Government recommend a [practice special precautions] by protecting yourself from mosquito bites and discussing with your health professional particularly if you intending to travel while pregnant.  Websites to visit for additional info:
