💉 Immunizations in Calgary: Protect Yourself, Your Family, and Your Community

Vaccines are one of the most effective ways to protect yourself and those around you from serious diseases. At Calgary West Pharmacy, our goal is to make immunizations convenient, safe, and accessible for everyone in our community. Whether it’s your annual flu shot, a booster for shingles, or a travel vaccine, our pharmacy team is here to help you stay healthy all year long.

“Protecting yourself means protecting your whole community.”

🏥 Why Immunizations Matter

Immunizations don’t just protect individuals — they protect entire communities. By keeping your vaccines up to date, you help reduce the spread of preventable illnesses such as:

• Influenza (Flu)
• COVID-19
• Pneumonia
• Shingles (Herpes Zoster)
• HPV (Human Papillomavirus)
• Hepatitis A and B
• Tetanus and Diphtheria (Td/Tdap booster)

Vaccines help your body build natural immunity before you come into contact with these diseases, ensuring you’re ready to fight them off if exposed.

🕒 When to Get Vaccinated

You can get many vaccines year-round, but some are seasonal (like the flu shot) or require multiple doses (like Hepatitis B or HPV). For best protection, book your immunization a few weeks before travel or flu season.
