What to Expect
Getting vaccinated at our pharmacy is quick, private, and straightforward.
Most vaccines are administered during scheduled clinics held throughout the year. Call to find out when the next clinic is, or to have a specific vaccine ordered in for you.
Your pharmacist will ask a few brief health questions to confirm the vaccine is right for you and review any interactions with your current medications.
The vaccination is administered privately and takes only a few minutes. We'll update your record and let you know if a follow-up dose is required.
Common Questions
Still have questions? Call us at (613) 382-1333, we're happy to help.
No. For most vaccines, you do not need a referral or doctor's prescription. Pharmacists in Ontario are authorized to administer a wide range of vaccines directly. Give us a call to find out about upcoming clinic dates or to have a specific vaccine ordered in for you.
It depends on the vaccine. The flu shot is free for all Ontarians under the Universal Influenza Immunization Program (UIIP). Some vaccines, like Shingrix and travel vaccines, may have a cost. Many are covered by private insurance plans. Contact us and we can help clarify what is covered for you.
Most vaccine appointments take 10 to 15 minutes in total, including a brief health screening and a short post-vaccination observation period. If you have questions about your current medications, the consultation may take a few extra minutes.
Your pharmacist will review your current medications before administering any vaccine. Most vaccines have no meaningful interactions with common medications, but there are a few exceptions. Patients on immunosuppressants, for example, may need to time their vaccines carefully. Your pharmacist will flag anything relevant.
It's helpful to bring your health card and a list of your current medications. If you have a private insurance card, bring that too. If you've had a previous dose of the same vaccine (such as Shingrix dose 1), bring your vaccination record so we can update it.
