COVID Shot
COVID-19 vaccination is essential for safeguarding the health of Albertans. By getting vaccinated, individuals can significantly reduce their risk of severe illness resulting from COVID-19 infection. The vaccines are designed to bolster the immune system, providing better protection against the virus and its variants.
Immunization not only helps protect the vaccinated individuals but also contributes to the overall health of the community by lowering transmission rates. This collective immunity is vital in managing public health and preventing outbreaks. Therefore, receiving the COVID-19 vaccine is a proactive step towards ensuring personal health and the well-being of others in Alberta.
To schedule your COVID-19 vaccination, you can book an appointment at one of our Mint Health + Drugs locations, select your appointment type, and choose a date and time that works best for you. For those who have questions or need assistance, the knowledgeable pharmacists at Mint Health + Drugs are available to provide guidance and support throughout the vaccination process.
Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to wear a mask if I am sick?
We do not require masking in our clinic. However, if you are ill, masking is a good way to prevent spread of infection to others in the clinic who may be vulnerable to illness.
Can I just walk in with a minor illness?
Yes, you can. We understand that minor illnesses can strike without warning. Walk-ins are welcome at our pharmacy, although scheduling an appointment can reduce wait times and ensure you receive prompt care.
When should I go to the emergency room instead of Health Box Clinic?
While we are adept at managing minor injuries, there are situations when it’s essential to seek immediate medical attention at an emergency room. These include severe injuries like deep wounds, fractures, severe burns, difficulty breathing, chest pain, sudden severe headache, or symptoms of stroke. Any symptoms that you feel could be life-threatening should always be treated as an emergency. When in doubt, it’s always safer to go to the emergency room.
