Which COVID-19 vaccines and boosters are available at Longfields Pharmacy?

We offer the updated COVID-19 boosters recommended by Health Canada and Ontario's Ministry of Health, including the XBB bivalent formulations that target currently circulating Omicron subvariants. Available products may vary based on provincial supply. Call 613-440-9199 to confirm current stock.

Am I eligible for a COVID-19 booster?

Eligibility for updated COVID-19 boosters in Ontario depends on your age, health status, and time since your last dose or infection. Generally, adults 18 and older who received their last dose or had COVID-19 at least 6 months ago are eligible. Certain high-risk groups and seniors may qualify earlier. Our pharmacists can review your eligibility when you visit.

Is the COVID-19 vaccine covered by OHIP?

Yes. COVID-19 vaccines administered at authorized pharmacies in Ontario, including Longfields Pharmacy, are covered by OHIP at no cost. There is no charge for the vaccine or its administration.

Walk-ins are welcome at Longfields Pharmacy. You do not need a pre-booked appointment to receive your COVID-19 vaccine or booster. However, calling us ahead of time at 613-440-9199 allows us to prepare and may reduce your wait time, especially during busy periods.

How often should I get a COVID-19 booster?

Ontario currently recommends most adults receive an updated COVID-19 booster annually, similar to the flu shot. High-risk individuals, seniors, and immunocompromised patients may be advised to get boosted more frequently. Guidance changes as new variants emerge, so speak with our pharmacist or check the Ontario Ministry of Health website for the latest recommendations.

What should I bring to my COVID-19 vaccination appointment?

Please bring your Ontario health card (OHIP card) and your COVID-19 vaccination record (such as your vaccine receipt or the Ontario government QR code) so we can update your record accurately. If you have any allergies or concerns about the vaccine, let us know during your consultation so we can advise you appropriately.
