Not feeling well after travel?

Fever, rash, bites, diarrhea, fatigue, or unusual symptoms after a trip should not be ignored, especially after travel to areas where infections like malaria, dengue, or other travel-related illnesses may occur.

JEMA offers post-travel consults and can help review your travel history, symptoms, timing, exposures, and next steps.

If you feel unwell after travel, reach out.

There is no “one-size-fits-all” answer for malaria prevention.

Malaria risk depends on the country, region, season, altitude, type of travel, and where you are staying. Some travelers may need malaria medication, while others may only need insect precautions depending on the itinerary.

Canada’s malaria prevention guidance notes that travelers should consult a health professional about anti-malarial drugs and prevention steps before travel.

Bring your full itinerary to your travel consult.

Travelling “home” or visiting friends and family abroad?

These trips can sometimes involve longer stays, local food and water exposure, rural travel, family events, and less tourist-style accommodation — all of which can change your travel health risks.

Even if you have been there before, it is worth reviewing your vaccines, malaria risk, food and water precautions, and travel medications before you go.

Let’s review your trip together before you leave.

Booked a last-minute trip?

It is still worth checking in.

Some vaccines and medications need time to work, but even last-minute travellers can benefit from advice on food and water safety, insect bite prevention, traveller’s diarrhea, medication planning, and destination-specific risks.

The best time to prepare is early. The second-best time is before you go.

Virtual and in-person consults are available.

Did you know JEMA is a Yellow Fever designated clinic?

Some countries require proof of yellow fever vaccination for entry, and the vaccine and official certificate must be provided through a designated Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre in Canada.

If yellow fever may apply to your trip, it is important to review your itinerary before you travel — including layovers and border crossings.

Travelling in July or August?

June is a great time to book your travel consult.

Some vaccines need more than one dose, some medications need to be started before travel, and some destinations require extra documentation.

A little planning now can help you feel more confident, informed, and protected before you leave.
