Flu Shots 2024

Our Annual Flu Shot Clinics will run INSIDE THE OFFICE and is by APPOINTMENT ONLY. As we have a limited supply this year, we do not have the capacity to vaccinate people without an appointment.

WHERE: Inside the office at 1133 Lonsdale Avenue (3rd floor).

WHO: North Shore Medical patients only. We kindly ask that anyone with a needle phobia, or any children requiring extra attention or preparation for vaccinations, book an appointment with their doctor separate from the flu shot clinic.

WHEN:
Saturday October 19th 9am-12pm - complete
Saturday October 26th 9am-12pm- complete
Saturday November 2nd 9am-12pm - complete
Saturday November 9th 9am-12pm - complete 

HOW: Appointment only. Please do not call the office, see information below.  You do not need to book with your own doctor, as any of the physicians will be working the flu shot clinic and administering shots. 

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

• We are only offering the Influenza vaccine at this time, not the COVID vaccine.
• We cannot guarantee a sufficient supply of the Fluad vaccine for individuals aged 65 and older. While we will do our best to provide this vaccine to all who meet the eligibility criteria, if supplies are limited, we will administer the Fluzone vaccine as an alternative. Priority is determined by age.
• We do not have any Flumist available at the Flu Shot Clinic this year.
• “No-shows” and last-minute cancellations are extremely disruptive to our clinics and leave vaccines unclaimed. Please provide 48 hours notice if you cannot make your appointment. 

HOW TO REQUEST AN APPOINTMENT:

Please do not call the office, instead email [email protected] with the following information for EACH person you would like to make an appointment for:

1)      Full name
2)      Family doctor
3)      List two date preferences

You will receive a response within 48-72 hours containing an appointment notification with a time slot between 9am and 12pm.

AT YOUR APPOINTMENT:

• Please bring your health card and wear clothing that allows the doctors to access your arm.
• You are expected to complete a consent and questionnaire at your appointment.
• This is for flu shots only. If you have any other medical concerns to discuss with a doctor you will need to book a separate appointment in the office for this.
