In Canada we are privileged to have access to safe and effective vaccines that prevent disease or at least make illness less severe. Many of these tools are important to receive even if we do not travel.
Detailed knowledge about these vaccines is a constantly evolving field. For this reason, family doctors and other physicians have increasingly been referring their patients to Bon Séjour in the absence of travel.
