Getting ready for any trip can be stressful. Whether its for business or pleasure, you need to make sure you have everything booked and your bags packed. But, what about your health?
A South African safari, Thai business trip and beachtime in Brazil all have different health requirements. Make sure you’re protected by visiting your local Passport Health before you go.
Our expert travel health staff has been specially trained to help you be prepared for whatever health threats may be present in your destination:
- Typhoid, hepatitis A and traveller’s diarrhea are real threats for travellers to almost any region. Vaccinations and remedies are available at all Passport Health clinic locations in Ottawa and throughout Canada.
- All Passport Health clinics in Canada are Designated Yellow Fever Centres. This means we keep the yellow fever vaccine in-stock and ready for your trip. Some countries require proof of vaccination for entry.
- Every country has different recommendations or requirements, and every trip is just as different. Our staff will help you identify what vaccinations and medications are right for your journey.
No matter where you are going, Passport Health is here to help you travel safe and stay healthy during and after your trip. Make sure you’re protected through vaccination and education at our Downtown clinic.
Passport Health’s Downtown Ottawa travel clinic is conveniently located just a few blocks away from Parliament Hill in downtown Ottawa. Book your appointment today by calling or schedule online now.

“Excellent Service“
“Nicole is extremely knowledgeable and provided a detailed and comprehensive review of my immunization requirements and health and wellness considerations for my upcoming trip to Africa. I am impressed with the personal Booklet given to me detailing my trip which is also a very useful reference document. Each vaccine was reviewed in detail with printed instructions included. I highly recommend this Office and in particular Nicole.”

“Detailed and fast“
“I’m taking a last-minute trip and the Passport clinic got me in within a day a phoning. The nurse, Nancy, had looked up my destination city ahead of time. She had everything we needed prepared and laid out in advance. Nancy asked good questions and provided very helpful information. I felt comfortable that my health was in good hands. I would definitely use Passport again.”

“Thorough!“
“The consultation was very thorough. The nurse made sure to go through all the necessary precautions for the area I was visiting. She recommended vaccinations and treatment plans based on my occupation at destination and risk level. The vaccination was PAINLESS! I was a little surprised – I didn’t even feel it (… it was sore afterwards but that’s normal).”

For example different Mosquito’s and virus, also whet we should eat and not eat. Most important was when she gave the injection, I didn’t feel a thing.. First time in my life, Thank You for a great experience. Would recommend this clinic to everyone.”

“I was beyond satisfied with the service provided by all at Passport Health. Nancy was great! I was easily able to make an appointment over the phone and my schedule was kindly accommodated. I appreciate the detailed email reminding me it was time to receive my booster, excellent since remembering a booster in 6 months can be a challenge! Plus, when relocating their clinic in Ottawa, my call was returned on a Saturday to ensure I had the correct address. Thanks Passport Health!!!”

“Getting a Yellow Fever vaccine“
“Your clinic was accommodating and the nurse was knowledgeable and very professional. The price point was too high. You are $30 to $50 more expensive than other clinics. So why did I choose you? Because you could accommodate me on very short notice at the date and time that was convenient for me and very close to my house. Another awesome point: your call service. It’s easy to get a hold of somebody (a real person), fast. Very efficient and professional. This is a big plus for me !! That’s the MAIN reason why you got my business that day. At other clinics I got the answering machine or an automated message or courteous message re-directing me to their on-line service, which was not current and didn’t do anything to get me to my outcome of “getting a vaccine that day”. Hope this was helpful, Take care, Nat”
