Yellow Fever Vaccine for Ottawa — Do You Need It?
The Yellow Fever vaccine and the International Certificate of Vaccination and Prophylaxis (ICVP) — the official “yellow card” required for entry to certain countries in Africa and South America — are given only at Government of Canada designated Yellow Fever Vaccination Centres. The Virtual Travel Clinic is not a designated centre: our physician assesses by video whether your itinerary needs the vaccine and refers you to a designated centre from the Public Health Agency of Canada list. The certificate is valid for life (WHO 2016 guidelines).

Travellers we see from Ottawa
Ottawa is home to one of Canada’s most internationally mobile populations — federal government employees, diplomats, foreign service officers, military personnel, and NGO workers who travel frequently to Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, and Latin America. The Virtual Travel Clinic offers a completely virtual pre-travel consultation that works perfectly for busy Ottawa professionals. Our physicians provide same-week video appointments, and when a trip to Africa or South America needs the Yellow Fever vaccine and ICVP certificate, we refer you to a Government of Canada designated Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre. Federal employees can submit official receipts to PSHCP or their health benefit provider.

What travel vaccines do Ottawa government travellers most commonly need?
Ottawa’s federal and diplomatic community frequently travels to Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, and Latin America. Most commonly needed vaccines include Yellow Fever (Africa/South America — given only at a government-designated centre), Hepatitis A and B, Typhoid, Malaria prophylaxis (Malarone or doxycycline), Rabies pre-exposure (rural or extended travel), and Dukoral for traveller’s diarrhea prevention.
Does the federal government travel health benefit (PSHCP) cover travel vaccines?
Most federal government employees are covered under the Public Service Health Care Plan (PSHCP), which includes some travel vaccine coverage. We provide official itemized receipts for all services that can be submitted directly to your benefits provider. Coverage varies by plan — check your PSHCP certificate for specifics.
How far in advance should Ottawa travellers book a travel consultation?
At least 4–6 weeks before departure is ideal — some vaccines require multiple doses spaced weeks apart. For government employees with last-minute travel orders, same-week virtual consultations are available. Even 2 weeks before travel is enough for most vaccines.
