Travelling this winter? Make sure the only thing you’re catching are flights, not illnesses!

If you get sick before your trip, consider postponing your travel plans until you've recovered.

Before you leave, consult a health care provider for advice on vaccinations and medications.

During your trip, reduce your risk of getting or spreading a respiratory illness:

- Limit contact with others if you become sick.
- Wear a well-fitting mask if you’re sick or in a crowded or closed space.
- Clean your hands regularly with soap and water or hand sanitizer.

If you feel sick when coming back to Canada, depending on your mode of transportation, tell:

- a flight attendant
- a border services officer
- cruise staff

If you become sick once you’re back home, contact a health care provider and make sure to mention where you’ve travelled.

Please make sure you and your family have protection against illness such as Influenza, pneumonia and RSV. There are vaccines available to provide that protection.

About RSV immunization

Immunization products against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) are safe and effective in preventing lower respiratory tract diseases caused by RSV. Immunization is particularly beneficial for individuals at high risk of infection, such as infants, young children and older adults.

Please make an appointment with Suanne Perley for all vaccines/ immunizations, or talk to your Doctor or Nurse Pratitioner.
