Cholera and traveller’s diarrhea vaccine availability, eligibility, and fees may vary by province and participating pharmacy location. Check your vaccination needs at least six weeks before departure, since some travel vaccines may require more than one dose or time to provide protection. Bring your itinerary, departure date, immunization card, and any available vaccination record so your personal pharmacist can help review your travel health needs.
