Leaving Canada for a trip abroad? The Canadian government has issued travel advisory health notices for chikungunya, measles, polio, cholera, dengue fever and H7N9 avian influenza. Non-essential travel advisories continue for the ebola virus in Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea.
Canadian government travel advisory
If you’re travelling to the United States, the Caribbean, Central and South America, Asia, Africa, or Europe, read up on vaccinations and precautions you’ll want to consider before leaving (click on the links above to go to the individual notice).
If you’re travelling with emergency medical travel insurance and submit a medical claim resulting from an unexpected sickness like chikungunya, you may be covered for treatment, subject to the terms and conditions of your policy. If you have questions about your policy before leaving, contact your travel medical insurance provider.
Safe travels,
