Vaccination at the pharmacy: what changes with Bill 67

What changes about age?

The guide states that the pharmacist may administer immunizing products, such as vaccines or monoclonal antibodies, to any person with no age limit. This does not require a pharmacy to vaccinate every age group: the guide reminds pharmacists to know the particularities of certain subgroups, such as children, and to act within their competence.

What training is needed?

The required training must be passed to administer vaccines. It should not be confused with the mandatory training tied to Bill 67, which follows a different timeline.

What rules govern it?

The Québec Immunization Protocol is the reference for all vaccinators and prevails over any other document. The guide also asks for a suitable environment, the necessary equipment and emergency measures under an established procedure.

What is recorded?

• In the file: the date, time, dose, route and site of administration, lot number and expiry date.
• In the provincial vaccination registry: the vaccine information, within two business days.
• In case of an adverse reaction: a report to Québec public health.

Are there fees?

Order 1341-2026 addresses administration under the Québec immunization program, subject to certain conditions. The answer may therefore vary with the vaccine and your situation. Ask before your appointment whether fees apply to the vaccine or the service.
