In 1993, Dr. Raymond Cooke took over The P.E.I. Travel Immunization Clinic (PEITIC) from the Provincial Government and now runs the clinic in conjunction with his regular medical practice. The purpose of the travel clinic is to provide travellers a central location to obtain information, receive immunizations and obtain prescriptions.
Travel to international destinations has increased dramatically over the past decade, and today's travellers are exploring new and exotic locations. Of course, exciting travel is associated with an increased risk of serious illness, much of which is not prevalent in Canada. Hepatitis A/B/C, malaria, and dengue fever are only a few examples of illnesses abroad. As yet, malaria cannot be immunized against, but with careful preventative measures and prophylactic medications the risks can be reduced.
Please call for an appointment, no travel information is avaliable via phone.
The OB/GYN Suite at The Polyclinic houses five full-time physicians who provide obstetrical services to patients in the eastern region of Prince Edward Island. They also offer full gynecological services to island residents, caring for concerns such as abnormal menstruation, pelvic pain, pelvic support needs, and selected infertility issues and oncological indicators.
