It is important to mind your health before going to Canada.
As a preparation for your trip, it is highly recommended that you ask your physician or your local health center to provide you with:
● A copy of your medical records, especially if you have any chronic health problems, such as diabetes or epilepsy
● A list of prescribed medication that you may need in Canada
● Your vaccination records.
Even though there are no laws for mandatory vaccination in Canada, elementary and high schools normally require students to be vaccinated against childhood illnesses.
The type of immunization students need may vary depending on the province or territory.
For example, students wishing to enroll in schools in Ontario and New Brunswick are required to provide vaccination records to the school at the time of enrollment. They must be immunized against diphtheria, tetanus, polio, measles, mumps, and rubella.
Students in Manitoba are not required to be vaccinated against measles if they wish to enroll in a school, but those who are not vaccinated must stay home if there’s a measles outbreak.
If you’re part of a cooperative program or a program for work experience, and you’re working at a building site or outdoors, you may have to get vaccinated for tetanus.
