Saturday, Sept 30th at Forbes Hall
Mohamed (Mo) Osman, the pharmacist from Rexall on Esplanade in Chemainus, has kindly agreed to come to Thetis on Sept 30th and give Tetanus and/or Shingles vaccines.
You are eligible for a tetanus booster if your last shot was 5 to 10 years ago. Tetanus is covered by BC Medical Services.
You are eligible for the Shingles vaccine (which is usually not covered by BC Medical Services) if:
1. You have never had the vaccine.
2. You had the older version of the vaccine (it was a one dose vaccine).
If you have had shingles, you may still be eligible for the vaccine - talk to Mo when you call. Note the Shingles vaccine is now a two-dose vaccine with the second dose given 2 - 6 months after the first.
TO REGISTER: Call Mo at 250 246 2151 with your PHN number to sign up, OR you can email him at 7114rx@rexall.ca .
If you have any questions including whether you are eligible for these vaccines, please direct them to Mo.
