Vaccines

Prescription Medications

We can fill your travel health related prescription at Polaris Travel Clinic and Pharmacy, whether you had a consultation appointment with us or if you want to bring us a prescription written by another prescriber.  Our dispensary keeps ample stock of the following medications:

Antimalarial drugs such as Malarone, chloroquine, mefloquine, and doxycycline

Antibiotics for traveller’s diarrhea such as ciprofloxacin (Cipro), azithromycin (Zithromax), and cefixime (Suprax)

Medications to prevent and/or treat altitude sickness such as acetazolamide (Diamox)

We also stock items such as EpiPens and meclizine for nausea.

Prices vary depending on quantity.  Contact us for details.

Please note: if you bring in a prescription from another prescriber, you won’t be charged any additional consultation fees and we will attempt to directly bill your drug plan.  You can book an appointment time to ensure you don’t have to wait.  If you walk in with a prescription, you may have to wait until the pharmacist is done a scheduled appointment before they process your prescription.  

Non-Travel Services

Non travel vaccines:  If you are not going on a trip and need a vaccine such as tetanus, shingles, HPV, or Hepatitis B, we can provide a non-travel vaccine assessment and then prescribe and administer the vaccine.  Non-travel vaccine appointment: injection fee of $20 per person per visit.
