Heading on a trip to a country that you've never visited before?

A travel vaccination clinic should be among the first places you visit after you've booked tickets -- but it might be an even better idea to head to one before buying them. 

Travel Medicine & Vaccination Centre Nurse Director Prab Cockar says some people return from trips with horror stories about getting sick overseas because they weren't aware of viruses and bacterial infections they could pick up while they were away. 

Travellers' vaccinations not covered by MSP in B.C.

The B.C. government covers the cost of some vaccinations, such as ones for COVID-19 and influenza, for people who are enrolled in the  Medical Services Plan (MSP) for British Columbia . A prescription is not needed for these vaccines.

But people who receive vaccinations only for travel are not eligible for coverage under the provincial plan. 

A visit to the clinic can be a "one-stop-shop" for potential travellers, Cockar told V.I.A. When they book a consultation, a health care professional will break down all of the health risks associated with travelling to their destination, including ones that can be prevented with immunization or treated by prescription and ones that cannot, and even what to consider about drinking local water and eating food. 

Since travel resumed following the pandemic, the clinic has seen a steady increase in appointments for travel-related vaccinations. However, there are several safety factors to consider, such as a client's age and medical history, as well as the unique destination they plan to visit. 

What to expect at the travel vaccine clinic

"Our consultants will review [the patient's] medical history, what vaccines they had as kids and then we discuss where they are travelling. We look at the full itinerary and search the place and the time of year," she said.

The clinic always recommends purchasing a comprehensive travel insurance plan that includes robust medical coverage for emergencies.

Immediately following the consultation, the patient can get vaccinated in the clinic and is given a prescription to pick up medication at their local pharmacy; they don't need to return for a follow-up visit.

The entire visit, including the consultation and vaccines, generally costs an average of $60, Cockar explained. 

What kinds of vaccines do the clinics offer?

Some vaccines they routinely administer are for viruses like Hepatitis A and B -- which are recommended worldwide -- and ones that may be more specific to exotic destinations, such as a Typhoid fever shot for travel to South East Asia. 

They also administer non-travel vaccines , such as ones that prevent HPV, Influenza, Shingle, Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis/Whooping Cough, and more.

For diseases that can't be prevented by vaccines or medication, such as dengue fever, the clinic will detail the steps necessary to prevent an infection. Since it is a mosquito-borne illness found mostly in tropical and sub-tropical climates, the best way to prevent getting sick is by covering up, such as wearing protective clothing and sleeping in a mosquito net. People should also use a mosquito repellent, such as DEET, to keep the harmful pests off of them. 

While between 100 and 400 million people are infected with the dengue virus annually, many cases cause asymptomatic or mild illness. However, a severe dengue infection can cause severe illness and even death . Except for pain management, there is no treatment for the virus, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). 

Some destinations should be avoided due to health risks

Knowing what destinations put you at greater risk for contracting particular viruses, as well as what resources may be available to you, may determine whether or not you want to visit a particular destination. For example, women who plan on becoming pregnant may want to avoid travelling to countries where it is possible to contract the Zika virus, which also does not have a vaccine.

While the Zika virus doesn't often cause severe illness in adults, pregnant women who get infected with the virus may give birth to a baby born with "microcephaly and other congenital malformations as well as preterm birth and miscarriage," says the WHO. Cases of the virus have occurred on many continents, including Africa, the Americas, Asia, and the Pacific, but some individual destinations may carry a greater risk.

The Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH)  Travel Clinic/Vaccination Clinic also provides "travel prescriptions, health advice, and vaccine recommendations based on an individual’s medical history and travel itinerary."

The coastal health authority says it is vital for people to get the appropriate vaccines before they travel outside of Canada.

Russia Is Slow to Administer Virus Vaccine Despite Kremlin’s Approval

After announcing the first government clearance for a coronavirus vaccine, Russia delayed distributing it. It remains unclear how many people have received it.

• Share full article

By Andrew E. Kramer

MOSCOW — More than a month after becoming the first country to approve a coronavirus vaccine, Russia has yet to administer it to a large population outside a clinical trial, health officials and outside experts say.

The approval , which came with much fanfare , occurred before Russia had tested the vaccine in late-stage trials for possible side effects and for its disease-fighting ability. It was seen as a political gesture by President Vladimir V. Putin to assert victory in the global race for a vaccine.

It is not clear whether the slow start to the vaccination campaign is a result of limited production capacity or second thoughts about inoculating the population with an unproven product.

The Russian vaccine is one of nine candidates around the world now in the late-stage clinical trials that are the only sure means to determine whether a vaccine is effective and find possible side effects.

A vaccine is considered the only way to halt the spread of the coronavirus, which has sickened more than 30 million people globally and slowed economies around the world since it first appeared in China late last year.

In one example of the limited scope of distribution, the company financing the vaccine pointed to a shipment sent this past week to the Crimean Peninsula. The delivery contained doses for 21 people in a region with two million.

The Russian Ministry of Health has not said how many people have been vaccinated in all of Russia. The minister, Mikhail Murashko, said last weekend that the first small shipments was being delivered this past week to the Russian provinces.

He did not say how many doses were shipped, describing the shipments only as “small amounts,” and also did not say when they would become available. He said the area around St. Petersburg, the Leningrad region, would be among the first to receive what he called “samples” of the vaccine.

Mr. Putin has said that one of his two adult daughters took the vaccine.

“Unfortunately, we have very little information,” said Dr. Vasily V. Vlassov, a professor of epidemiology and vice president of the Russian Association for Evidence-Based Medicine. His organization had opposed approval of the vaccine before testing it.

“We cannot understand how much is P.R. and how much is a violation of medical ethics,” he said of the announcement that the vaccine had been approved for use outside a clinical trial. If few Russians are receiving the vaccine, the early approval appears less troubling, he said.

“Maybe nothing scary is happening in reality and only the announcement was scary,” he said.

Svetlana Zavidova, the director of a pharmaceutical trade group, the Association of Clinical Trial Organizations, which also opposed the hasty approval, said the limited use was encouraging news, even as its reasons are unclear.

“Is it a question of limited production or more of a political decision?” she said. Either way, “of course from my point of view it is better they limit their activity to only clinical trials, as we said from the beginning.”

The trial in Russia began on Sept. 9, and Russian officials have said they expect early results before the end of the year, though the Gamaleya Institute, the scientific body that developed the vaccine, has scheduled the trial to continue until May.

That timeline is similar to the testing schedules announced by the three pharmaceutical companies testing potential vaccines in the United States, AstraZeneca, Moderna and Pfizer.

AstraZeneca paused its trial this month after a test subject experienced symptoms of a neurological disease, transverse myelitis, as a possible side effect. The trial has since resumed in Britain but not the United States.

Mr. Putin and senior health officials announced the approval of the Russian vaccine, called Sputnik V in reference to the satellite that won the space race, for emergency use on Aug. 11. China had earlier begun vaccinations outside trials starting with members of its army , and has approved four vaccines for limited use.

On Sept. 14, the United Arab Emirates gave emergency approval for one Chinese vaccine, made by Sinopharm , for use on health workers.

Russia’s health minister said on Aug. 11 that people at high risk of infection, like doctors and teachers, would be vaccinated, and the Russian financial company sponsoring the vaccine said doses would be available in August.

But the rollout proved slower.

Mr. Murashko, the minister, said the delays were partly because of a need to test the distribution system for a vaccine that must be stored in a deep freeze, and also to train medical personnel. The delays have persisted even as the virus infects more than 5,000 people a day in Russia.

The Russian late-stage, or Phase 3, clinical trial is being carried out entirely in Moscow, where 30,000 people will receive the vaccine and 10,000 will get a placebo.

Yevgenia Zubova, a spokeswoman for the Moscow city health department, said in an interview that the vaccine was available only to trial participants. The Health Ministry did not reply to written questions about the use of the Sputnik V vaccine outside clinical trials.

Nonetheless, Kirill Dmitriev, the director of the Russian Direct Investment Fund, the company sponsoring the vaccine, has been cheering on officials in other countries who advocate early vaccine approvals.

“It has now been accepted that Russia’s approach is the correct one,” he said in a statement after reports emerged that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration might provide an emergency use approval for a vaccine, an idea promoted by President Trump.

Russia’s health authorities have a history of approving medicines after limited testing. It is a legacy of the Soviet-era regulatory system, in which an oversight committee often deferred to the judgment of drug researchers, who were not motivated by profit, said Dr. Vlassov with the Association for Evidence-Based Medicine.

Regulators have, for example, approved a best-selling cold medicine in Russia, Arbidol, though the clinical trial to prove its efficacy was canceled.

But when medicines are tested, Russia has an exceptionally good track record on managing clinical trials, according to a database of U.S. Food and Drug Administration inspections of clinical trials around the world. The F.D.A. found a lower percentage of trials with problems in Russia than in any other European country or the United States.

Russia registered the first Covid vaccine. Now it's struggling to vaccinate its population.

MOSCOW — In August 2020, Russia became the first country in the world to register a Covid-19 vaccine. President Vladimir Putin announced the news on national television and said one of his daughters had already been vaccinated.

At the time, Russia was set to race ahead of other countries in its efforts to vaccinate its population.

Instead, 10 months after Sputnik V’s approval, Russia's vaccination rate is one of the lowest in countries where vaccines are widely available.

Just 14 percent of Russia’s 146 million people have been vaccinated with at least one dose, compared to 53.5 percent of Americans, according to Our World in Data, a monitoring project based at the University of Oxford.

An ambitious plan to vaccinate 30 million Russians by June — which involved giving away cars and free groceries — has fallen short by a third.

There are three Russian-made vaccines approved for use in Russia and the country has sold Sputnik V to countries around the world, including Turkey and Brazil. Russian-made vaccines are the only ones available to most Russians and supplies are plentiful. Researchers have said that Russia’s Sputnik V vaccine is about 91 percent effective .

The Kremlin said in a statement on Friday that that there were shortages in some areas, such was the level of "growing demand." But many just don’t trust Russian-made shots.

Samyr Oynushev, a musician from Moscow, has no plans to get the vaccination, though he believes Covid vaccines are necessary.

“If I had a choice, I would rather take a non-Russian vaccine,” the 29-year-old said.

“I think that [low vaccination rates] are primarily the fault of the government, that people don't trust them so much.”

Others feel that after recovering from Covid-19, they don’t need to rush to get a vaccination. According to one study published in the journal Nature, around 45 percent of the adult population of Russia’s second city, St. Petersburg, have antibodies to the coronavirus.

Epidemiologist Vasily Vlassov, a professor at the Higher School of Economics in Moscow, hasn’t yet been vaccinated, and believes his antibodies still protect him from infection after he caught Covid-19 in January.

Although vaccinations in the former Soviet Union were widely accepted, hesitancy began rising in the 1990s after the fall of communism as people realized they could make choices for themselves, he said.

“Russians know German cars are better than Russia’s cars and they have a problem believing that a Russian vaccine is better,” he said.

Currently in Israel, Vlassov is considering getting the Pfizer vaccine that’s widely available there.

Despite his initial excitement about the vaccine, Putin has offered no proof, other than a short government statement, that he received a Russian-made shot. Unlike other world leaders who have been photographed with their sleeves rolled up or even their chests bared while receiving their shot, no such picture of Putin was released.

Meanwhile, Covid-19 rates and deaths in Russia are rapidly rising. After a dip in infections, the country is now reporting numbers similar to those seen in February, largely as a result of the delta variant. In Moscow, nearly 90 percent of reported cases were linked to the variant, Mayor Sergey Sobyanin said last week.

The national coronavirus task force said Saturday that 619 people died over the past day, the most since Dec. 24. Russia also reported its highest daily Covid-19 death toll of the year, with 21,665 cases.

Those rising rates, along with the hesitancy to be vaccinated, has led officials to offer incentives to residents, including the chance to win new cars. In Moscow, city authorities have given employers in public services a month to ensure that 60 percent of their staff had been vaccinated or face a fine.

Sobyanin ordered bars and restaurants in the capital to serve people only if they have been vaccinated or have had an infection indicating immunity. And unvaccinated people may soon be refused nonemergency hospital treatment. This crackdown has led to a thriving black market for fake vaccination certificates.

Natalia Andreeva, a laboratory diagnostician in Moscow, has yet to be vaccinated but has accepted that she will need to be in the future.

“It inevitably needs to be done,” Andreeva, 63, said. “I think that many people are afraid to get vaccinated, because all this was done very quickly.”

There are signs that officials' incentives and threats seem to be working. In the last week, Moscow’s vaccination rate has increased four or five times, Vice Mayor Anastasia Rakova said on the state-owned news channel Russia-24.

However, epidemiologist Anton Barchuk, the researcher who ran the study on antibody prevalence in St. Petersburg, suggests that a more effective way to convince people to get a vaccination would be through a more open discussion on the pros and cons.

“The pandemic has highlighted the problems with vaccine hesitancy,” he said, adding that the take-up of other vaccines for adults is also low. “It’s a problem of trust, and a lack of information on the harms and benefits of vaccination.”
