International vaccinations: appropriate protection for every destination

Depending on the country you are traveling to, some vaccines are required and others are strongly recommended. Yellow fever, typhoid fever, hepatitis, meningitis, rabies – the risks vary considerably from one destination to the next.

When you make an appointment at the Institut Pasteur Medical Center, you will be given:

• a personalized assessment of your vaccine status;
• vaccinations that are recommended or required for your destination;
• an international vaccination certificate, as required for travel to certain countries.

Malaria prevention

Malaria is one of the most serious and frequently contracted infectious diseases for people traveling to tropical or subtropical regions. Prevention involves both protective measures against mosquito bites and preventive medical treatment known as chemoprophylaxis.

Following your vaccination appointment, our medical team can prescribe you with an appropriate anti-malaria treatment based on your destination and health status.

Guidance for travelers

Are you planning a complex trip or do you have an existing health condition? 

Make an appointment with our travel medicine specialists for expert advice tailored to each situation:

• Relocating abroad, traveling for long periods or going on a round-the-world trip

Living or working in a foreign country for several months requires careful medical preparation. Our team can help you anticipate any health risks in your destination country and update your vaccinations.

• Travelers with health problems

Do you have a chronic health condition (e.g. diabetes, cardiovascular disease or an inflammatory disorder) or a compromised immune system, or are you taking a specific medical treatment? Some vaccines may be contraindicated or may need to be adapted. 

Our physicians can assess your situation and offer tailored recommendations.
