Vaccination remains one of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. Whether it’s the flu, COVID-19, pneumococcal infections, or RSV, each vaccine helps strengthen your defenses and protect those around you. By staying informed and keeping your vaccines up to date, you reduce your risk of complications and contribute to collective health.

Each year, several viruses circulate actively, especially in the fall and winter. Fortunately, safe and effective vaccines are available to reduce their impact on your health and ensure maximum protection:
Flu (influenza)
This seasonal virus can cause fever, fatigue, and complications, especially in vulnerable individuals. The annual flu shot remains the best protection.
Pneumococcus
Pneumococcus can cause serious infections, including pneumonia. The vaccine is therefore recommended for older adults and individuals at increased risk.
COVID-19
Still present, this virus can cause symptoms, such as headaches, body aches, and long-term health effects. Booster doses help maintain strong immunity.
RSV (respiratory syncytial virus)
Often associated with young children, RSV also affects adults and can lead to respiratory complications, especially in seniors.*

In addition to vaccines against the flu and other respiratory viruses, our pharmacies also offer essential protection against other infections:
HPV (human papillomavirus)
Helps prevent certain HPV-related cancers as well as the appearance of some symptoms.
Shingles (zona)
Significantly reduces the risk of shingles and its long-lasting pain, called postherpetic neuralgia.
Meningococcus
A serious bacterial infection best prevented through vaccination.
Did you know you can receive more than one vaccine in the same appointment?
Fall is the ideal season to update your protection. Whether for flu, RSV, or other respiratory infections, some vaccines can be administered at the same time, even in the same arm. This is called co-administration.
Practical, quick, and effective—so you can enjoy a worry-free winter, away from viruses.
Before you travel, make sure you’re protected
Some countries require specific vaccines for entry, while others present higher risks of infectious diseases. Whether mandatory or simply preventive, travel vaccination helps you enjoy your trip with peace of mind.
