Our pharmacists are certified to administer vaccines under Ontario's scope of practice for pharmacy professionals. Every immunization includes an in-person assessment by a pharmacist before administration. To ask about a specific vaccine, call (519) 742-9955.

Several of the vaccines above are arranged through our travel clinic, where a pharmacist reviews your trip with you before anything is administered.

Book or Walk In

Both work. You are welcome to walk in during pharmacy hours, and you can also call ahead to arrange a time that suits you. Booking is worth considering during the autumn flu-shot period, and for travel vaccines, where a pharmacist needs time to go through your trip with you.

Because the pharmacy counter closes earlier than the store on Saturdays, check the hours below before making a Saturday afternoon trip.

What to Bring

• Your Ontario health card
• A list of the medications you currently take
• Your immunization record, if you have one
• For a travel appointment, your itinerary and travel dates

Short sleeves, or a top you can roll up easily, make the appointment quicker.

What Happens at Your Visit

A pharmacist will go through a short assessment with you first — what you are here for, what you take, and anything relevant in your history. That assessment is part of every immunization and is required before a vaccine is administered.

Afterwards, please plan to stay at the pharmacy for 15 minutes so a pharmacist can monitor you before you leave.
