What health risks are there in Canada?
Canada has a good standard of healthcare, and there are few risks to health that you would not see in the US.
When you come for your pre-travel health appointment at Global Travel Clinics, you can ask the travel health professional if you’ll need any vaccinations for Canada. Some travelers need catch-up shots for the CDC recommended vaccinations. We can also help travelers who need vaccination against rabies.
But your US health insurance may not cover you for treatment in Canada, so check with your insurer before departure. All travelers should get travel health insurance to ensure they can access healthcare while on vacation or traveling for business. Your travel insurance should also provide coverage for medical evacuation.
