At this time we do not offer Covid 19 testing for travellers. Please visit https://www.lifelabs.com/flyclear/ to find a location nearest you. In addition, the Covid 19 vaccine is being distributed by public health and we do not have access to this vaccine.
The Huronia Travel Clinic remains open during the current pandemic of CoViD-19. We are sensitive to, and agree with, social distancing and trying to limit the number of patients that would be together in our waiting room. We encourage everyone to follow public health guidelines and keep up to date for this ever changing situation. We certainly understand that some patients, despite the federal government’s suggestion to limit international travel, may have essential duties overseas and need expert travel advice. We are available for that purpose. If you have an international trip planned later in the year please re-book at a later date.

You have booked your air plane ticket and car rental, bought your travel health insurance but have you checked if your routine immunizations are up to date? Travel is a great time to review your immunizations such as tetanus and measles. While here in Ontario we have high immunization coverage rates for disease like measles, many countries do not allow travel to such places when you are not protected with vaccines and can lead to what is called imported cases. Since 2015 there have been 196 cases of measles: most cases were in not up to date with measles vaccine and most were related to travel. Be safe! Book an appointment today to review your immunizations such as tetanus and measles.

Thinking of going on a cruise? What a fun and relaxing (or maybe not so relaxing depending on how many excursions you book) way to spend 1, 2 or more weeks. Cruise travel is very safe but there are some health issues to consider. Health Canada and the Committee to Advise tropcial Medicine and Travel (CATMAT) has written an entire statement on cruise travel and guidelines for travel health professionals to advise travellers who are planning a cruise. Our goal is to help you enjoy your cruise adventure.

SARS (now more than a decade ago) taught us how an illness on the other side of the world can affect us. Well we are once again experiencing the impact of a disease Yellow Fever in Brazil and Angola; because of the outbreaks of Yellow Fever in these countries, the World Health organization has directed large quantifies of Yellow Fever vaccine to the health authorities in those countries to help deal with the outbreak. Travel clinics in other parts of the world are being severely limited in their supply of vaccine. Health Canada is working on advising us of temporary solutions to assist our travellers when travelling to countries where Yellow Fever is a concern.

Working in the Huronia Travel Clinic here in Barrie is so much fun! We get to meet the most interesting folks. Whether it’s large groups needing their consultations and vaccinations, or indivual families or couples traveling abroad. Today I saw a retired couple who are driving the Pan American highway all the way from Alaska to the tip of South America. How cool is that?
We had some very interesting discussions about what vaccines they might need including Yellow Fever (which fortunately they already had and Malaria, they are in and out of Malaria areas and of course all of the other mosquito born illnesses (Dengue, Zika etc.) that are endemic in many of the countries they are driving through. A very exciting trip!

While we would say it is ALWAYS a great time to travel. Many prefer to travel during the Winter. Winter is always a busy time for travellers. Here are just a few reasons why.
Often traveling during the off-season, hotels, airlines and resorts will offer discounted rates. Be on the look-out for great deals during non-peak travel times!
Ever heard of SADS (seasonal affective disorder)? Many people suffer from this during the winter. It’s dark, cold and lacking sun. For this reason folks want to get away from snow and head to the beach!
Don’t let the cold weather discourage your desire to travel either, but rather, embrace it and look at it as a chance to see places in a different light. The world is full of opportunities for exploration. Maybe it isn’t exactly hot and sunny everywhere right now, but hey, cold weather traveling is actually really wonderful. With boundless activities for both winter enthusiasts and warm weather lovers alike, there is something out there for every traveler!
Spring, summer, autumn, winter. No matter the season, it’s always a good time to go out and see the world! Plan your next adventure!
Remember to pack lots of sunscreen and insect repellant with DEET. Public Health Agency of Canada website Public Health Agency of Canada has the latest on mosquito borne diseases like ZIKA. check it out.
