Did you know individuals with disabilities are at an increased risk of contracting COVID-19 and progressing to severe illness? At our pharmacy we are proud to create a private, sensory-friendly environment to allow those with autism and other disabilities or needs a safe space to receive their vaccination.
We offer access to noise canceling headphones and sunglasses to reduce any noise and fluorescent lighting that may be bothersome. In addition, we have a stress ball and sensory fidgets available for use during the appointment. To reduce needle pain and fear and provide a distraction, we also have a ‘Buzzy’ which is a vibrating vaccination tool available for use during your vaccination visit. All vaccines are conducted in our private vaccine room to provide a calm environment. Our vaccine check-in process is very quick when you schedule an appointment in advance, and all of our vaccinators are patient and friendly!
