About this Service
Routine vaccinations form the foundation of travel health and general protection against common infectious diseases. Before travelling internationally, it is essential to ensure that routine vaccines are up to date: measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR); tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (Tdap); varicella (chickenpox); pneumococcal disease (Pneumonia); and seasonal influenza (flu). These vaccines protect not only you but also vulnerable populations you may encounter during travel, including infants, elderly individuals, and immunocompromised people. Many countries now have stronger measles transmission, making MMR particularly important for international travellers.
At Peel Travel Clinic (905) 890-2757, we will review your immunization records to ensure all routine vaccinations are current. If you are unsure of your vaccination status, we can perform a comprehensive review or administer a titer test to confirm immunity. Tdap boosters are recommended every 10 years for adults; MMR is typically two doses; Varicella is two doses; pneumococcal vaccines follow specific age-based schedules; and flu vaccine is recommended annually. Our healthcare providers will tailor recommendations based on your age, travel destination, medical history, and occupational risk.
Before your next trip, call Peel Travel Clinic at (905) 890-2757, located at 550 Matheson Blvd W, Unit 107, Mississauga, to schedule a routine vaccination review and ensure you are protected.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which routine vaccines are most important for travellers?
All routine vaccines are important, but MMR, Tdap, and varicella are especially critical for international travellers. Ensure you have two doses of MMR (or proof of immunity), current Tdap (within 10 years), two doses of varicella, and seasonal flu vaccination. Call Peel Travel Clinic at (905) 890-2757 to review your status.
Are routine vaccines covered by OHIP?
Yes, routine vaccines (MMR, Tdap, varicella, pneumococcal) are covered by OHIP for eligible Ontario residents, though coverage varies by age and risk factors. Some vaccines may require out-of-pocket cost. Call Peel Travel Clinic at (905) 890-2757 to verify your coverage and book your vaccination consultation.
How can I check my immunization status?
Review your childhood immunization records or health card. You can also call Peel Travel Clinic at (905) 890-2757 and our healthcare providers will review your records for you. A titer test can confirm immunity if records are unavailable.
When should I get routine vaccines before travel?
Ideally, complete routine vaccinations 4–6 weeks before travel. If you are travelling sooner, call Peel Travel Clinic at (905) 890-2757 to discuss your timeline — some vaccines can still be given closer to your departure date.
