Travel Health

Travelling can increase your risk for a number of illnesses. We recommend visiting www.travel.gc.ca for valuable information on staying healthy at your destination.

Did you know there are travel health clinics in Winnipeg and Thunder Bay? These experts can provide you with destination-specific health information. This service is especially valuable for those traveling to higher risk destinations like India, Africa, Southeast Asia, and South America, etc.

As of September 1, 2017:
  • NWHU will be charging a fee for administering non-publicly funded vaccines (including travel vaccines).
  • Travel vaccine prices are increasing:
