VACCINATION FOR BUSINESS

The Health of Your Employees

Facilitating the vaccination of your employees is an investment for the future of both your employees and your business!

Allow your employees to get vaccinated in their workplace and you will:

Avoid losses of productivity due to medical visits and their associated wait times.
Decrease the absenteeism rate caused by avoidable illnesses (for example: the flu).
Protect your employees during their overseas business trips, thereby allowing them to successfully complete their assignments.

The Clinique du Voyageur – Summit Health would like to help you reach these goals by offering vaccination services at your place of work. We offer the flu vaccine, routine vaccines, and travel vaccines. For your employees who will go overseas, we also offer travel prescriptions and travel recommendations. Note that, prior to their appointment, each employee will be asked to fill out a short medical questionnaire.

Please note that Summit Health also offers non-travel related services, travel prescriptions, and travel recommendations at any one of our 7 locations.

For vaccine recommendations, we invite you to schedule an appointment for a travel consultation with one of our nurses. The nurse will offer guidance and recommendations pertaining to your specific situation. Recommendations vary based on the timing and duration of your trip, the cities you plan to visit, the activities you plan to partake in, and on your accommodations abroad.

To ensure maximum protection from illness, some vaccines need to be administered in 2 doses prior to your trip. The delay required between the 2 doses depends on the vaccine. For this reason, we recommend that you schedule your consultation 6-8 weeks prior to your trip. For last minute travellers, please note that most vaccines may be administered 2 weeks prior to your trip.

The duration of protection offered by each vaccine is variable. For example, the combined hepatitis A and hepatitis B series will protect for 20 years whereas one dose of the vaccine against typhoid fever will protect you for 3 years. Please note that, given the constant flux of research studies, the duration of protection offered by each vaccine may be updated.

Yes. The consultation fee is $65 for an adult, groups of 2 to 6 people travelling on the same trip are $54 per person. Travel prescriptions are included as part of the consultation fee. The fee for a booster dose is $20. The consultation fee for a non-travel related vaccination appointment (e.g. Shingles) is $25. Please note that cost of each vaccine is additional to the consultation fees.

RAMQ does not reimburse the cost of any vaccine. However, private health insurance companies often reimburse a portion of the costs.
