Travel Medicine – Stay Healthy Wherever You Go

Before you embark on your next adventure, make sure your health is ready to travel too.
At NP Health Clinic in Whitby, we help individuals and families prepare for safe, healthy trips abroad through personalized travel consultations, vaccinations, and preventive care. Whether you’re travelling for business, study, or leisure, our experts ensure you’re protected every step of the way.

What Is Travel Medicine and Why It Matters

Travel medicine focuses on keeping you healthy before, during, and after your trip. From required vaccinations to disease prevention strategies, it ensures you’re protected against global health risks such as malaria, yellow fever, typhoid, and traveler’s diarrhea.
A pre-travel consultation at NP Health Clinic helps identify country-specific risks, review your vaccination record, and provide expert advice tailored to your destination and health history — giving you confidence wherever you go.

Common Travel Health Risks You Should Know

International travel exposes you to unique health risks that may not exist in Canada. Our team helps you prepare for:

  • Infectious diseases – malaria, yellow fever, typhoid, hepatitis A and B
  • Food & water illnesses – traveler’s diarrhea, cholera
  • Environmental hazards – altitude sickness, insect bites, contaminated water
  • Location-based risks – outbreaks or vaccination requirements for your specific destination

Travel Vaccinations and Immunizations We Offer

NP Health Clinic provides a full range of travel vaccinations to protect you against region-specific illnesses and meet international entry requirements, including:

  • Yellow Fever Vaccine
