At the appointment, a pharmacist with a Certificate in Travel Health will review and provide a written assessment of travel health recommendations and provide a prescription for vaccinations and medications recommended or required for the itinerary.

Cost:

Assessment - $65 (Family traveling to the same destination - $100)
This includes the cost of administration of vaccines but does not include the cost of vaccines or medications.  Depending on the itinerary, the consultation typically lasts between 15 and 30 minutes.

Administration of Vaccines:

Vaccine administration is provided by a pharmacist trained in the administration of vaccines.
You may be required to wait at Aikenhead's Drug Store for approximately 15 minutes after receiving a vaccine.
