Ottawa travelers now have a new, convenient option for expert travel health care. Summit Health has officially opened its Carlington Travel Health Clinic, our second location in the Ottawa region, designed to bring faster access, consistent pricing, and the same high standard of medical care our clinics are known for across Quebec and Ontario.
If you’re preparing for an international trip, here’s everything you should know about our new Carlington clinic and how we’re making travel medicine easier for Ottawa residents.
A Second Ottawa Clinic Designed for Access and Convenience
Our first Ottawa travel clinic quickly revealed something important: Ottawa residents travel a lot, and the city has long had too few travel medicine providers to meet demand.
Opening a second clinic in Carlington allows us to offer:
• More same day and next day appointments
• Shorter wait times during peak travel seasons
• Easier access for residents of Westboro, Carleton Heights, Hintonburg, and Nepean
• Extended support for families, students, and federal employees traveling abroad
Travel medicine shouldn’t require long delays or last minute scrambling. Carlington helps solve that.
Full Travel Vaccine Services, Including Yellow Fever
Carlington provides the complete range of vaccines recommended for international travel, including:
• Typhoid
• Hepatitis A and B
• Rabies pre exposure
• Cholera and ETEC
• Meningitis ACWY
• Routine and booster vaccines as needed
Our team reviews your itinerary, medical history, and travel style to build a personalized plan. Whether you’re preparing for a safari, backpacking trip, resort stay, mission trip, or family visit, we help you leave fully prepared.
Consistent, Transparent Pricing Across All Summit Health Clinics
One thing patients told us repeatedly at our first Ottawa clinic is that pricing in Ottawa varies dramatically between providers. Some travelers reported paying $350 or more for a single Yellow Fever vaccine.
Summit Health does things differently.
We believe regional pricing shouldn’t exist for medical services.
Our Carlington clinic uses the same pricing model as all Summit Health locations in both provinces, which means:
• No Ottawa markups
• No surprises at checkout
• The same fair price whether you book in Montreal, Hamilton, Pickering, or Ottawa
This approach has earned strong support from patients who appreciate transparency and consistency.
Expert Travel Advice from Nurses Who Specialize in Travel Medicine
Every appointment at Summit Health includes a complete consultation with a nurse trained in international health risks, destination specific requirements, malaria prophylaxis, and outbreak updates.
We provide guidance on:
• Entry requirements for your itinerary
• Vaccine timing
• Malaria zones and medication options
• Safe food and water practices
• Insect precautions
• Planning for high altitude or remote travel
You leave with a clear plan, printed recommendations, and everything you need for a safe trip.
International Certificates Issued On Site
For destinations requiring proof of vaccination, we issue official international documents during your visit:
• Yellow Fever Certificate (ICVP)
• Meningitis certificate for Hajj and Umrah
• Any documentation required for school programs or workplace travel
All certificates are completed on site, stamped, and valid immediately or within the required timeframe.
