Pharmacist-Administered Vaccines in North York
Vaccines are the safest and most effective way to protect yourself and those around you from serious preventable illnesses. At Ultima Pharmacy, our trained and certified pharmacists administer a full range of vaccines for children, adults, and travellers — right in our North York location.
No referral needed. For most vaccines, no appointment is required — simply walk in during pharmacy hours. Some vaccines (including Yellow Fever and certain travel vaccines) require a scheduled appointment through our Travel Clinic.
Personalized Vaccine Review
As we get older, the protection we had from previous vaccination can decrease for some diseases. Getting another dose (called a booster) can increase our immunity to provide the best protection.
We review your medical history, including:
- What vaccines you had in the past
- If you're pregnant or planning to become pregnant
- If you have health conditions
- Your type of work
- If you have upcoming travel
Seasonal Flu Shot — Walk In, No Appointment Needed
Get Your Flu Shot at Ultima Pharmacy
The flu shot is recommended every year for nearly everyone 6 months of age and older. Getting vaccinated protects you and those around you, including people who are too young or too ill to receive the vaccine themselves.
Adult Vaccines
Immunity from childhood vaccines can decrease over time. Adults may need booster doses or new vaccines depending on their age, health status, occupation, or travel plans. Our pharmacist can review your vaccination history and recommend which vaccines are appropriate for you.
Vaccines we administer for adults include:
Shingles Vaccine (Shingrix) — Available at Our Pharmacy
Shingles (herpes zoster) is a painful condition caused by the reactivation of the chickenpox virus. It affects approximately 1 in 3 Canadians during their lifetime, with risk increasing significantly after age 50.
Shingrix, the two-dose shingles vaccine, is highly effective (90%+) and recommended for all adults 50 and older, and for immunocompromised adults 18 and older.
The Shingrix vaccine is available at Ultima Pharmacy.
Ontario coverage: Shingrix is covered at no charge for eligible seniors under the Ontario government's publicly funded program. Ask our pharmacist if you qualify.
Planning to Travel?
If you have upcoming international travel, standard pharmacy vaccines may not be enough. Our dedicated Travel Clinic provides comprehensive pre-travel health consultations, destination-specific vaccine recommendations, and travel medications.
We are one of the few certified pharmacies in North York authorized to issue the Official International Certificate of Vaccination (ICVP) for Yellow Fever — required for entry to many countries in Africa and South America.
