Every memorable journey starts with a plan—an itinerary, packed bags, and a passport. But one essential detail is often missed until it’s too late: your health. Before you sip street-side espresso in Rome or trek through Thailand’s misty mountains, ask yourself: “Have I protected my health for this destination?”
At Davies Pharmacy, we make sure the answer is yes.
Through our partnership with TravelRx, we provide certified travel consultations and vaccinations right here in North Vancouver. We help travellers understand the risks, choose the right protection, and leave fully prepared—often in a single visit.

Why Travel Immunizations Matter
Many regions around the world carry health risks that aren’t present in Canada. Diseases such as typhoid, hepatitis A, Japanese encephalitis, and yellow fever are not just words in a brochure—they’re real concerns for unprepared travellers.
Vaccines offer more than just protection. They offer peace of mind.
And in most cases, they’re simple, safe, and quick.
What Vaccines Might You Need?
No two trips are alike—and neither are our recommendations.
Depending on your destination, activities, travel style, and medical history, your certified TravelRx pharmacist may recommend:
- Twinrix (Hepatitis A & B)
- Typhoid (oral or injectable)
- Yellow Fever (International Certificate provided)
- Cholera / Dukoral
- Japanese Encephalitis
- Meningococcal ACYW-135
- Rabies (for rural or extended travel)
- Routine updates (MMR, polio, tetanus, etc.)
We also help you understand prescription needs for malaria, altitude sickness, or travellers’ diarrhea—coordinating with your doctor if required.
Why Choose Davies Pharmacy?
Because preparation should feel as smooth as your flight.
And because your health is too important to leave to a checklist.
At Davies, you get:
✔️ One-on-one consultations with certified travel pharmacists
✔️ Most vaccines available without a prescription
✔️ Your immunizations administered the same day
✔️ Clear documentation for travel authorities
✔️ Coordination with your family doctor (as needed)
✔️ Friendly, local care rooted in decades of trust
When Should You Get Travel Vaccines?
Ideally, 4–6 weeks before your departure.
But if your trip is soon—we can still help.
Some vaccines (like Twinrix) require multiple doses. Others (like yellow fever) take 10+ days to take full effect. A quick conversation with our pharmacy team can help you prioritize what matters most.
