Are you wondering if you should get a COVID-19 booster vaccine? You would be eligible for a booster if it has been at least 6 months (168 days) from your last COVID-19 vaccine or COVID infection. A spring booster is recommended in higher risk groups such as those over 65 years old, those who are immunocompromised, and those who are pregnant just to name a few. For those not in a higher risk group who already received a bivalent booster dose in the fall (after September 1st, 2022), there is no evidence that another bivalent booster is needed at this time and would be optional. We are providing the updated Moderna Spikevax Bivalent BA.4/5 vaccine.

Spring cleaning? Don't forget to check expiry dates on your medications and over the counter products. Any expired medications or ones you aren’t using can be removed from their containers and placed in a ziplock bag for safe disposal at the pharmacy. We also accept needles, lancets, and other injectables if they are placed in a free sharps container available from the pharmacy. This service is provided at no cost to encourage everyone to dispose of medication safely.
