Vaccines are among the most effective preventive tools we have. We document your history, contraindications, and allergies, then recommend vaccines per Ontario’s programs and Health Canada immunization resources. Adults may need Tdap boosters, COVID-19 updates, pneumococcal vaccines by age/risk, and recombinant zoster vaccine for eligible ages. We explain common side effects (sore arm, fatigue) versus rare emergencies (anaphylaxis—stay in clinic for observation when indicated).
