Flu shots

The seasonal flu shot is free in Ontario through the province's Universal Influenza Immunization Program — you don't need to pay, and you don't need to see a doctor first. We're enrolled in the program and give flu shots here at the pharmacy each season.

It's worth having if you're over 65, pregnant, living with a chronic condition such as diabetes, asthma or heart disease, or if you live with or care for someone who is. Honestly though, it's worth having for most people — it's a few minutes now against a week in bed later.

Flu vaccine typically arrives in the autumn. Give us a call at (519) 738-2400 to check we have it in and whether you need to book.

COVID-19 vaccination

We're enrolled in Ontario's publicly funded COVID-19 vaccination program. Availability and eligibility change with each campaign, so please call before coming in and we'll tell you exactly what we have and whether you're due.

Other vaccines

Ask us. Depending on the vaccine and your age, we may be able to give it here — and where we can't, we'll tell you who can. If you're wondering whether you're due for something, or you're planning travel and aren't sure what you need, come and talk to us and we'll go through it with you.

What to bring

Let us know when you arrive if you've ever had a reaction to a vaccine, if you're unwell that day, or if you're pregnant — it may change our advice.

Frequently asked

Is the flu shot really free?

Yes. Ontario funds seasonal flu vaccination for everyone who lives, works or goes to school in the province. There's no charge to you.

Do I need an appointment?

Please call ahead on (519) 738-2400. It lets us confirm we have the vaccine in stock and that a pharmacist is free when you arrive, so you're not waiting.

Can my children be vaccinated here?

Often yes, though the minimum age varies by vaccine. Call us with your child's age and which vaccine you're after and we'll tell you straight away.

Can I have my flu and COVID-19 vaccines at the same time?

Usually yes, and many people prefer to. Mention it when you call and we'll arrange both in one visit if it's appropriate for you.

Do I have to be a regular customer?

No — anyone is welcome, whether you fill prescriptions with us or not.
