FAQs
Good questions deserve clear answers.
Here’s what travelers ask us most often. Your personal recommendations are always confirmed during consultation.
Still have a question?What are the fees and what is included?+
Fees depend on the appointment type and any vaccines provided. A consultation includes a review of your itinerary and health history, destination-specific risk guidance, a vaccine plan and prescription recommendations where appropriate. Contact us for current pricing before you book.
I know which vaccine I need. Can I skip the consultation?+
A clinical assessment is still important before most travel vaccines. It confirms that the vaccine is appropriate and safe for you, checks timing and entry rules, and identifies risks that may not be obvious from the destination alone. We’ll keep the process focused and efficient.
Why isn’t travel medicine covered by OHIP?+
OHIP generally does not cover services provided solely for travel outside Canada, including pre-travel assessments and related paperwork. Some routine or medically indicated services may be covered in other circumstances.
Why aren’t travel vaccines covered by OHIP?+
Most vaccines needed specifically for travel are considered elective and fall outside Ontario’s publicly funded program. Some routine vaccines may be publicly funded when you meet provincial eligibility criteria.
Why does each family member need a consultation fee?+
Recommendations are individualized. Each traveler has a different age, medical history, vaccine record, medication list and risk profile—even on the same itinerary—so every person requires their own assessment and chart.
Why can’t my family doctor provide travel medicine?+
Some family doctors do provide travel advice, but travel medicine requires current destination data, specialized vaccine inventory, entry-rule knowledge and time for a detailed itinerary review. A dedicated clinic brings these services together in one visit.
Will my private insurance cover the visit or vaccines?+
Many extended health plans reimburse some consultation fees, vaccines or prescription costs, but coverage varies. Ask your insurer which travel health services are included and keep your itemized receipt for submission.
Do you offer Yellow Fever vaccination and certificates?+
Yes. Universal Travel Health is a designated Yellow Fever vaccination centre. When vaccination is appropriate, we can provide the official International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (the yellow card).
How far in advance should I get my vaccines?+
Ideally, book four to six weeks before departure. Some vaccines need multiple doses or time to build protection. If you’re leaving sooner, still contact us—last-minute travelers can often receive useful vaccines, prescriptions and practical advice.
What if I’m unsure which vaccines I’ve already had?+
Bring any records you can find, including provincial records, old vaccine cards or pharmacy printouts. We’ll review what is known and discuss safe next steps; depending on the vaccine, that may include repeating a dose or checking immunity.
Can I claim travel health costs on my income tax?+
Some eligible medical expenses may qualify for the Medical Expense Tax Credit, depending on current CRA rules and your circumstances. Keep your receipts and confirm eligibility with the CRA or a tax professional.
