The COVID Vaccine and Your Insurance: What You Need to Know

 

As more pharmacies in Canada are gearing up to provide the COVID vaccine, you may be wondering how this affects your insurance coverage.

What does this mean for your individual professional liability insurance as a Pharmacist or Pharmacy Technician? Provided your Provincial College includes injections as part of your scope of practice, your policy will automatically expand to include this coverage at no additional cost.  However, if you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out to us to discuss your individual  situation.

What if you own a pharmacy providing the COVID vaccine? Similar to pharmacies providing the flu shot program, there are a few steps required with your store insurance to ensure your pharmacy is compliant with the Ministry of Health’s requirements. Give us a call to get the process started for your pharmacy.
