Stay Protected, All Season Long

At LifeCare Pharmacy, your health is our priority. That’s why we offer fast, professional flu vaccinations, making it seamless to get protected and keep your community safe.

Why Get Vaccinated?

Prevent Flu :

Annual flu shots are your best defense against influenza. They significantly reduce your chances of getting sick and, even if you do, help minimize severity and complications.

Protect the Most Vulnerable:

Vaccination is especially critical for those 5 years and older, especially pregnant women, older adults, children, people with chronic illnesses like diabetes, and caregivers.

Reduce Hospitalizations & Severe Cases:

Studies show flu vaccines can lower ICU admissions by over 25% and reduce flu-related hospital stays significantly.

Vaccination Made Easy

Walk-In or Schedule Anytime

No appointments necessary; just pop in during business hours.

All Ages Welcome

Flu shots are available for anyone aged 5+ years and up.

Safe Co-Administration

You can receive the flu vaccine alongside others like COVID-19, RSV, or shingles in the same visit.

Frequently asked questions
What types of vaccines do you offer at LifeCare Pharmacy?

We provide a wide range of vaccines, including flu shots, COVID-19 boosters, travel vaccines (such as Hepatitis, Typhoid, Yellow Fever), allergy shots, and other routine immunizations.
Do I need an appointment for vaccines?

Appointments are recommended to reduce wait times, especially for travel and allergy vaccines, but we also accept walk-ins for flu shots and routine vaccinations when available.
Are vaccines covered by MSP or insurance?

Flu and some routine vaccines are free under the BC provincial program. Travel and specialty vaccines may not be covered, but we offer direct billing to most insurance providers.
Can I get multiple vaccines at the same time?

Yes. It is safe to receive flu, COVID-19, and most travel vaccines during the same visit. Our pharmacists will advise you on the best schedule if certain vaccines need to be spaced apart.
How do I prepare for my vaccination appointment?

Bring your BC Services Card, vaccination record, and any travel plans if booking a travel vaccine. Wear clothing that allows easy access to your upper arm. Our pharmacist will guide you through the process.
