The Government of Canada cannot intervene on your behalf if you do not meet your destination’s entry or exit requirements.<\/p> The Northern Mariana Islands are a territory of the United States (U.S.).<\/p> Confirm entry\/exit requirements prior to travelling:<\/p> This section contains information on possible health risks and restrictions regularly found or ongoing in the destination. Follow this advice to lower your risk of becoming ill while travelling. Not all risks are listed below.<\/p> Consult a health care professional or visit a travel health clinic preferably 6 weeks before you travel to get personalized health advice and recommendations.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div> Be sure that your routine vaccinations<\/a>, as per your province or territory<\/a>, are up-to-date before travelling, regardless of your destination.<\/p>\n Some of these vaccinations include measles-mumps-rubella (MMR), diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio, varicella (chickenpox), influenza and others.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n You may be at risk for preventable diseases while travelling in this destination. Talk to a travel health professional about which medications or vaccines may be right for you, based on your destination and itinerary. <\/p> Measles<\/a> is a highly contagious viral disease. It can spread quickly from person to person by direct contact and through droplets in the air.<\/p>\n Anyone who is not protected against measles is at risk of being infected with it when travelling internationally.<\/p>\n Regardless of where you are going, talk to a health care professional before travelling to make sure you are fully protected against measles.<\/p><\/details> Hepatitis B<\/a> is a risk in every destination. It is a viral liver disease that is easily transmitted from one person to another through exposure to blood and body fluids containing the hepatitis B virus. Travellers who may be exposed to blood or other bodily fluids (e.g., through sexual contact, medical treatment, sharing needles, tattooing, acupuncture or occupational exposure) are at higher risk of getting hepatitis B.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Hepatitis B vaccination is recommended for all travellers. Prevent hepatitis B<\/a> infection by practicing safe sex, only using new and sterile drug equipment, and only getting tattoos and piercings in settings that follow public health regulations and standards.<\/p><\/details> Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) <\/a><\/span>is an infectious viral disease. It can spread from person to person by direct contact and through droplets in the air.<\/span><\/p>\n It is recommended that all eligible travellers complete a COVID-19 vaccine series along with any additional recommended doses in Canada before travelling. Evidence shows that vaccines are very effective at preventing severe illness, hospitalization and death from COVID-19. While vaccination provides better protection against serious illness, you may still be at risk of infection from the virus that causes COVID-19. Anyone who has not completed a vaccine series is at increased risk of being infected with the virus that causes COVID-19 and is at greater risk for severe disease when travelling internationally. <\/span><\/p>\n Before travelling, verify your destination’s COVID-19 vaccination entry\/exit requirements. Regardless of where you are going, talk to a health care professional before travelling to make sure you are adequately protected against COVID-19. <\/span><\/p><\/details> The best way to protect yourself from seasonal influenza<\/a> (flu) is to get vaccinated every year. Get the flu shot<\/a> at least 2 weeks before travelling. <\/p>\n The flu occurs worldwide. <\/p>\n The flu vaccine available in one hemisphere may only offer partial protection against the flu in the other hemisphere.<\/p>\n The flu virus spreads from person to person when they cough or sneeze or by touching objects and surfaces that have been contaminated with the virus. Clean your hands often and wear a mask if you have a fever or respiratory symptoms.<\/p><\/details> Yellow fever<\/a> is a disease caused by a flavivirus from the bite of an infected mosquito.<\/p>\n Travellers get vaccinated either because it is required to enter a country or because it is recommended for their protection.<\/p>\n Risk<\/strong><\/p>\n Country Entry Requirement*<\/strong><\/p>\n Recommendation<\/strong><\/p>\n * It is important to note that country entry requirements<\/a> may not reflect your risk of yellow fever at your destination. It is recommended that you contact the nearest diplomatic or consular office<\/a> of the destination(s) you will be visiting to verify any additional entry requirements.<\/p>\n About Yellow Fever<\/a><\/p>\n Yellow Fever Vaccination Centres in Canada<\/a><\/p><\/details> There is a risk of hepatitis A<\/a> in this destination. It is a disease of the liver. People can get hepatitis A if they ingest contaminated food or water, eat foods prepared by an infectious person, or if they have close physical contact (such as oral-anal sex) with an infectious person, although casual contact among people does not spread the virus.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Practise safe food and water precautions<\/a> and wash your hands often. Vaccination is recommended for all travellers to areas where hepatitis A is present. <\/p><\/details> In this destination, rabies<\/a> may be present in some wildlife species, including bats. Rabies is a deadly disease that spreads to humans primarily through bites or scratches from an infected animal. <\/p>\n If you are bitten or scratched by an animal while travelling, immediately wash the wound with soap and clean water and see a health care professional. <\/p>\n Before travel, discuss rabies vaccination with a health care professional. It may be recommended for travellers who will be working directly with wildlife. <\/p><\/details> Many illnesses can be caused by eating food or drinking beverages contaminated by bacteria, parasites, toxins, or viruses, or by swimming or bathing in contaminated water.<\/p>\n <\/p> Many diseases are spread by the bites of infected insects such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas or flies. When travelling to areas where infected insects may be present:<\/p>\n To learn more about how you can reduce your risk of infection and disease caused by bites, both at home and abroad, visit our insect bite prevention<\/a> page.<\/p>\n Find out what types of insects are present where you’re travelling, when they’re most active, and the symptoms of the diseases they spread.<\/p> There is a risk of chikungunya in this country. The risk may vary between regions of a country. Chikungunya<\/a> is a virus spread through the bite of an infected mosquito. Chikungunya can cause a viral disease that typically causes fever and pain in the joints. In some cases, the joint pain can be severe and last for months or years.<\/p>\n Protect yourself from mosquito bites at all times. There is no vaccine available for chikungunya.<\/p><\/details> Some infections, such as rabies<\/a> and influenza, can be shared between humans and animals. Certain types of activities may increase your chance of contact with animals, such as travelling in rural or forested areas, camping, hiking, and visiting wet markets (places where live animals are slaughtered and sold) or caves.<\/p>\n Travellers are cautioned to avoid contact with animals, including dogs, livestock (pigs, cows), monkeys, snakes, rodents, birds, and bats, and to avoid eating undercooked wild game.<\/p>\n Closely supervise children, as they are more likely to come in contact with animals.<\/p>\n <\/p> Stay home if you’re sick and practise proper cough and sneeze etiquette<\/a>, which includes coughing or sneezing into a tissue or the bend of your arm, not your hand. Reduce your risk of colds, the flu<\/a> and other illnesses by:<\/p>\n Sexually transmitted infections (STIs)<\/a>, HIV<\/a>, and mpox are spread through blood and bodily fluids; use condoms, practise safe sex, and limit your number of sexual partners. Check with your local public health authority<\/a> pre-travel to determine your eligibility for mpox vaccine. <\/p> Tuberculosis<\/a> is an infection caused by bacteria and usually affects the lungs.<\/p>\n For most travellers the risk of tuberculosis is low.<\/p>\n Travellers who may be at high risk while travelling in regions with risk of tuberculosis should discuss pre- and post-travel options with a health care professional.<\/p>\n High-risk travellers include those visiting or working in prisons, refugee camps, homeless shelters, or hospitals, or travellers visiting friends and relatives.<\/p><\/details> Good healthcare is limited in availability. Quality of care varies greatly throughout the country.<\/p> Make sure you get travel insurance that includes coverage for medical evacuation and hospital stays.<\/p> Travel health and safety<\/a><\/p> The decision to travel is the sole responsibility of the traveller. The traveller is also responsible for his or her own personal safety.<\/p>\n Be prepared. Do not expect medical services to be the same as in Canada.

Consultez un professionnel de la santé voyage pour savoir quels médicaments ou vaccins pourraient vous convenir, en fonction de votre destination et de votre itinéraire.<\/p> La rougeole<\/a> est une maladie virale très contagieuse. Elle peut se propager rapidement d'une personne à l'autre par contact direct et par les gouttelettes dans l'air.<\/p>\n Toute personne qui n'est pas protégée contre la rougeole risque d'en être infectée lorsqu'elle voyage à l'étranger.<\/p>\n Peu importe où vous allez, consultez un professionnel de la santé avant votre départ pour vous assurer d'être entièrement protégé contre la rougeole.<\/p><\/details> L'hépatite B<\/a> est un risque dans toutes les destinations. Il s’agit d’une maladie virale du foie qui se transmet facilement d’une personne à une autre par exposition au sang et aux liquides organiques contenant le virus de l’hépatite B. Les voyageurs susceptibles d'être exposés au sang ou à d'autres fluides corporels (par exemple, par contact sexuel, traitement médical, partage d'aiguilles, tatouage, acupuncture ou exposition professionnelle) courent un risque plus élevé de contracter l'hépatite B.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n La vaccination contre l'hépatite B est recommandée à tous les voyageurs. Prévenez l’infection par l’hépatite B<\/a> en pratiquant des relations sexuelles protégées, en utilisant uniquement du matériel médical neuf et stérile et en vous faisant tatouer et percer uniquement dans des environnements qui respectent les réglementations et normes de santé publique.<\/p><\/details> La <\/span>maladie à coronavirus (COVID-19) <\/a>est une maladie infectieuse virale qui peut se propager d’une personne à l’autre par un contact direct et par des gouttelettes projetées dans l’air.<\/p>\n Il est recommandé que tous les voyageurs admissibles reçoivent la série complète d’un vaccin contre la COVID-19 ainsi que toute dose supplémentaire recommandée au Canada avant de voyager. Les données probantes révèlent que les vaccins sont très efficaces pour prévenir les formes graves de la COVID-19, les hospitalisations et la mort. Bien que la vaccination offre une meilleure protection contre les maladies graves, vous pouvez toujours être exposé au risque d'infection par le virus responsable de la COVID-19. Quiconque n’étant pas entièrement vacciné court un risque accru de contracter le virus qui cause la COVID-19, ainsi qu'un risque accru d'être gravement malade lors d’un voyage à l’étranger.<\/p>\n Avant de voyager, vérifiez les exigences d'entrée\/sortie de votre destination en matière de vaccination contre la COVID-19.Peu importe votre destination, discutez avec un professionnel de la santé avant de voyager afin de vous assurer d’être bien protégé contre la COVID-19.<\/p><\/details> La meilleure façon de se protéger contre la grippe<\/a> saisonnière est de se faire vacciner chaque année. Faites-vous<\/a> vacciner contre la grippe au moins 2 semaines avant de voyager.<\/p>\n La grippe est présente dans le monde entier.<\/p>\n Le vaccin contre la grippe disponible dans un hémisphère peut n’offrir qu’une protection partielle contre la grippe dans l’autre hémisphère.<\/p>\n Le virus de la grippe se transmet d'une personne à l'autre lorsqu'elle tousse ou éternue ou en touchant des objets et des surfaces contaminés par le virus.
