Travel Information
If you are travelling overseas, it is important to plan ahead and take care of your health and well-being to avoid health related issues during your travels. Consider planning early, especially if travelling with children or you are intending on an extensive trip- at least 6 months prior to your departure, as some vaccinations require several doses to be effective and allows you time to adjust to the vaccine before you travel abroad. Otherwise, we recommend a minimum of 8 weeks. Village Health offers Travel Consultations for our enrolled patients with Dr Nicole Anderson, who is also an authorised vaccinator for Yellow Fever.
At Village Health, you will need to:
1) Complete the Pre-Travel Planner online.
2) Undergo a Travel Consultation.
3) Consent to proceed with vaccines agreed upon, a quote will be sent to you for total amount owing.
4) Appointment is arranged with the Nursing Team for administering the agreed vaccines for your travel, once payment has been arranged.
Travel Consultation
​Prior to the consultation, you will be required to complete our Pre-Travel Planner form before an appointment can be made. Once submitted and reviewed, you will be contacted by our team for an appointment with Dr. Nicole Anderson. Travel consultations can be in person, by phone or virtual.
Consultations are from 30 minutes, depending on your travel itinerary. Travel consultations can be either in-person or over the phone. Travel consults are not subsidized by the Ministry of Health and full fees applies.
