Travel Health Consultations in Kelowna
Travel consultations, recommended vaccines and practical preparation for your destination and itinerary.
THE KIWI APPROACH
A weekend away, a family holiday and a longer trip can raise different health questions.
Your itinerary matters. Our pharmacist looks at where you are going, how you’ll be travelling and what you already have covered.

What the consultation covers
The discussion includes destination-specific vaccine recommendations, routine immunizations, prevention strategies and the travel-health supplies worth packing. Advice is based on your trip, not a standard list for every traveller.
Bring the details of your trip
Bring travel dates, destinations, planned activities and any vaccination records you have.
If you are travelling as a family, ask the team how to arrange the right appointments.
Bring medication and health-history information to the appointment.
Give yourself time
Some vaccines need time or more than one dose. Book early where you can.
If departure is close, call and ask what can still be arranged. The team will confirm appointment and vaccine availability rather than assume everything is on hand.
Leave with a practical next step
Ask what needs to happen before departure, what to bring with you and whether another appointment is needed. Confirm consultation and vaccine costs with the pharmacy before your visit.
Common questions
How can I check whether the vaccine I need is available?
Call the pharmacy at 778-940-1950 before your visit to confirm vaccine availability and arrange an appointment.
How far ahead of my trip should I book?
Aim for about six weeks before you leave. Some vaccines need time or more than one dose. If your trip is sooner, it is still worth booking; the pharmacist can explain what can be arranged before departure.
Do I need a travel consultation if my routine vaccines are up to date?
Routine vaccinations are one part of travel preparation. Your destination, activities and health history may raise different vaccine or prevention questions.
What should I know when arranging a family trip?
Bring the travel dates, destinations and planned activities. The pharmacy can explain how to arrange the appropriate consultations for the people travelling.
How do I book a travel health consultation?
Book online and choose Travel Consultation, or call the pharmacy at 778-940-1950. Bring your itinerary and vaccination record so the pharmacist can review your trip with you.
How much does a travel consultation cost?
A travel consultation is $50 CAD. Pay in person at your appointment. No payment is taken online. Ask the pharmacy about any vaccine or medication costs before proceeding.
