Yes. Clinique Omicron administers routine schedule vaccines according to the Quebec Immunization Protocol (PIQ) — vaccination for children aged 0 to 6 years is free according to MSSS criteria. We ensure rigorous updating of the vaccination record at each visit, and essential baby items are also provided free of charge during infant vaccination consultations.

Several vaccines are particularly recommended for this age group: the shingles vaccine (Shingrix, 2 doses), the seasonal flu vaccine (influenza), the pneumococcal vaccines (PCV and PPSV23), DTaP boosters (diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis), COVID-19 boosters according to current recommendations, and the RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) vaccine for those 60 years and older. Our team will assess your vaccination record to recommend the most appropriate protection for you.

The International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP) is issued on-site – it is recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) and required for entry into many countries in sub-Saharan Africa and South America. A travel consultation is included to assess contraindications.

Yes. The travel health consultation is included with your traveler vaccination appointment. Our team assesses your destination, the length and type of stay, as well as your vaccination history, to recommend the most appropriate vaccines. We offer advice on Hepatitis A and B, Typhoid, Rabies, Meningococcus, Japanese Encephalitis, and we also discuss malaria prevention based on your itinerary.

Yes, booking an appointment is recommended to review your medical file, vaccination record, and to confirm the appropriate vaccine based on your age, health status, and situation (booster, travel vaccination, infant vaccination). Appointments are quickly available at our service points in Quebec – in clinic and, for some services, at home. Bring your vaccination record if available.

The appointment generally lasts between 15 and 30 minutes. Our team begins with a pre-vaccination assessment (checking your medical record, vaccination booklet, and any contraindications), then administers the appropriate vaccine(s). Your vaccination booklet is updated on-site, and you will receive information about upcoming booster shots and post-vaccination instructions to follow.

Absolutely. Bring your vaccination record to your appointment. Our team will review your vaccination history, confirm doses already received, and schedule any necessary boosters according to PIQ recommendations. If you don't have a record or can't recall your past vaccinations, our team can assist you in reconstructing your history and establishing a suitable vaccination plan.

Yes. All vaccines administered at Clinique Omicron are in accordance with the Quebec Immunization Protocol (PIQ) of the Ministry of Health and Social Services (MSSS). This reference protocol guarantees safe care, based on the latest evidence in immunization. Our team is trained and authorized to administer vaccines according to these provincial standards.

Some vaccines have specific contraindications — for example, live attenuated vaccines (like yellow fever, MMR, or chickenpox) are generally not recommended for immunocompromised or pregnant individuals. A severe allergy to a vaccine component is also a contraindication. The pre-vaccination assessment carried out at each appointment allows for the identification of these situations and the safe adaptation of the vaccination plan.

RAMQ coverage varies by vaccine, age, and medical condition. Some vaccines on the regular schedule (such as influenza for at-risk groups, or pneumococcal vaccine for certain indications) may be covered by public insurance. Vaccines for travelers and several optional vaccines (Shingrix, RSV) are generally at the patient's expense and may be reimbursed in whole or in part by private insurance.
