Travel Health Consultations in Moncton | Harrisville Pharmacy

Planning a trip?

Whether you are travelling for vacation, work, school, or to visit family, a travel health consultation can help you prepare before you leave.

At Harrisville Pharmacy in Moncton, our pharmacists review your destination, travel plans, medical history, medications, and vaccine history to help reduce your risk of illness while travelling.

Start with your pharmacist before you travel.

Travel health needs can vary depending on where you are going, how long you are staying, what you plan to do, and your personal health history.

Our pharmacists can provide a pre-travel consultation to help identify vaccines, medications, and health precautions that may be recommended for your trip.

The goal is simple: help you leave prepared, with clear advice and a plan that fits your trip.

Our travel health consultations are intended for common travel destinations and routine pre-travel planning. If your trip involves complex medical needs, high-risk travel, extended travel, or destinations requiring specialized assessment, we may recommend follow-up with a travel medicine clinic or physician.

During your consultation

During your consultation, the pharmacist may:

Review your destination, itinerary, travel dates, and planned activities
Review your medical conditions, allergies, medications, and vaccine history
Identify travel vaccines that may be recommended
Discuss medications that may be appropriate for travel-related illness, such as travellers’ diarrhea or malaria prevention when indicated
Provide advice on food, water, insect bite, sun, and general travel safety
Prescribe and administer vaccines or medications when clinically appropriate and within scope
Provide a record of your consultation for your own records or your primary care provider

Recommendations may include, when appropriate:

Hepatitis A and B vaccination
Traveller’s diarrhea prevention and treatment options
Malaria prevention
Routine vaccine review
Influenza or other seasonal vaccines when available

When should you book?

Book early when possible.

Some vaccines need time to work, and some vaccine series require more than one dose. Booking several weeks before travel gives more time to prepare.
