Our protective measures in store

Increased Hygiene Practices

We continue to practice increased hygiene measures in our pharmacies. This includes regularly disinfecting the in-store equipment, workstations and cash registers and strict hand washing policies. 

This is what you can do to help us:

Social Distancing In-Store: Follow the infection prevention guidelines established in each store according to the provincial government recommendations.

Contactless Payment: Where possible, we ask that customers use contactless methods of payment. The transaction threshold for these types of transactions have been temporarily increased, when possible.

Feel Sick, Stay Home: Customers experiencing symptoms of fever, cough, or shortness of breath are asked not to enter the pharmacy. Contact your Public Health Authority for assessment and call the pharmacy to arrange ways to have your health and wellness needs met.

Vaccination Increased Measures

Safety measures to protect yourself while you get vaccinated in our pharmacies will continue to be applied. While your pharmacy team continues to respect the usual strict hygiene measures mentioned above, we also adopted or reinforced the following measures:

• Screening of patients for symptoms of COVID-19 or exposure
• Control of the number of patients entering the pharmacy
• Obligatory use of face coverings and any other relevant PPE (Personal Protection Equipment) for our patients and staff members
• Increased environmental cleaning
• Flexible vaccination schedule to avoid crowds*
• Online or phone appointment booking*
• Visual displays
