These are not all the possible side effects you may have when taking HyQvia. If you experience any side effects not

After HyQvia infusion a temporary, soft swelling may occur around the infusion site, which may last 1 to 3 days, due to
the volume of fluid infused.

• Mild or moderate pain, Redness, Swelling, Itching.
Local reactions are less likely after the first few infusions. The most common side effects of HyQvia are:

Talk to your doctor if you have risk factors for these kinds of conditions. Do not use HyQvia at home until you get
instructions and training from your healthcare professional. When using HyQvia at home, you must assign a guardian

Dear Patient,
Traveling while receiving treatment for primary or secondary immunodeficiency disease may seem to be a
daunting task. But there is nothing to stop anyone who is receiving Ig replacement therapy from going on a
holiday, especially if you are well-prepared and take appropriate precautions during your trip.
Because HyQvia is infused once every 3-4 weeks, you may not need to take your treatment supplies with you
during travel! For longer trips, this section of your Resources Binder provides information and tips to assist
you with your travel planning. Should you require additional information, your OnePath team is ready to help.
As a first step, please contact your Care Manager to discuss your travel plans and questions. Also, be sure
to discuss your travel plans with all of the doctors/nurses who are managing any other medical condition you
may have, over and above immune deficiencies.
Although most COVID-19 travel restrictions have eased, you should consult local/provincial public health
guidelines for the most current recommendations and updates. The Public Health Agency of Canada currently
advises travelers to practice enhanced health precautions when travelling, as COVID-19 continues to circulate
in Canada and internationally. The virus continues to change over time and new variants will continue to
appear. So, make sure to consult with your healthcare team at least 6 weeks before you travel.
Bon voyage,

The information and tips provided in this summary are intended to help you with your travel preparations and
to make them less stressful.
Be sure to discuss your travel plans with all of the doctors/nurses who are managing any other medical
condition you may have, over and above immune deficiencies.
Determine what travel restrictions may still be in place – Although most COVID-19 travel restrictions have
eased, you should consult local/provincial public health guidelines for the most current recommendations
and updates. The Public Health Agency of Canada currently advises travelers to practice enhanced health
precautions when travelling, as COVID-19 continues to circulate in Canada and internationally. The virus
continues to change over time and new variants will continue to appear. So, make sure to consult with your
healthcare team at least 6 weeks before you travel.
Discuss your travel plans with your healthcare team several months before your departure:
• Whether the destination you have in mind is a good choice for you
• What extra precautions you may need to take
• Advice/suggestions about vaccinations, medication, and emergency treatment options
• Re-scheduling or modifying your infusion schedule to make sure you are in good health during your trip
Prepare for local conditions and take extra precautions to maintain health
• Clothing requirements – Bring extra layers for cool temperatures and/or for protection from the sun.
• Hygiene – Maintain good hygiene conditions to protect from infections.
• Use mosquito repellent – To avoid mosquito-borne diseases like dengue fever or malaria that may be
present in some regions.
• Water supply – Drink bottled water only, as tap water in some areas can cause illness due to bacteria
and different mineral content. Do not drink well water or water from a stream, particularly when
camping, because it may have higher concentrations of bacteria, viruses, or parasites.
• Maintain a healthy diet – People with immune deficiencies are at a higher risk of infections, therefore
maintaining a healthy diet is especially important. Ask your doctor or nutritionist to create a balanced
meal plan that is right for you and based on foods that are available at your destination.
• Exercise and maintain physical activity – Staying physically fit - even when travelling - allows you to be
in the best condition to manage your immune deficiency. Always ask your doctor first before you start a
specific exercise routine.
• Swim with caution, as water in swimming pools and hot tubs may pose a health risk if the water/
pool is not cleaned often enough. Avoid swimming in polluted seas or lakes.
