Travel Health Clinic and Immunization
Protect your health before you travel. Not every country you visit will have the same level of health care, medical facilities, or safety that you’re used to in Canada. Therefore, put your health first before ticking off your bucket list! It is important to book a pre-travel health consultation about 6 to 8 weeks before you travel to find out the health risks at your destination, how to manage these health risks, and get vaccinated against vaccine-preventable diseases of the country you’re visiting.
In Alberta, pharmacists can only administer injections and/or vaccinations to persons 5 years of age or older.
Planning an international trip? Our travel clinic in Edmonton is here to ensure you’re protected before departure. Different countries pose different health risks, and vaccination requirements can vary. At Brintnell Pharmacy, our certified travel health pharmacists provide expert advice, personalized recommendations, and comprehensive protection tailored to your destination. We recommend booking your consultation 6–8 weeks before departure.
