We've brought LEGO to the pharmacy and our prices are the same as what you’ll see from the LEGO store online.

Today, we are celebrating a very special milestone.

Congratulations to Anna on receiving her PharmD from Dalhousie University! 🎓

Anna has been an integral part of our team since her first year of pharmacy school, and it has been a privilege to witness her growth and development as a pharmacy professional over the past four years.

This year, Anna will be doing a residency at the QEII Health Sciences Centre, an exciting next step in her professional journey.

We are incredibly proud of all that she has accomplished and are confident that she will make a significant impact on the patients and healthcare teams she serves.

While we will miss her, we are hopeful that our patients will still have the opportunity to see her from time to time as she fills in at our Community Pharmacy Primary Care Clinic.

Congratulations, Anna! We are so proud of you and look forward to seeing what the future holds. 🎉

11:50AM UPDATE:
We are now fully operational!

We somehow lost our internet connection last night during the thunderstorm. We need internet for our computers, checkouts and debit machines. A technician will be on site before noon. If you need something and it can wait, please come in later today so that we can assist you with all of our resources. If your matter is urgent or if you have an appointment at our clinic, we will try our best to help. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

It’s the season!! Kristen is our pharmacist on duty this weekend if you need to be assessed for a tick bite. Call 902-832-0494 or drop in!

Pharmacists are professionally qualified to provide a broad range of healthcare, not just prepare and dispense medicine.

We have a goal at Hammonds Plains PharmaChoice:
✅ 21 people vaccinated against Shingles in 21 days!

Are you 50+ and haven’t had your Shingles vaccine? You are eligible — and protecting yourself may be easier than you think.

⚠️ 1 in 3 adults will develop Shingles in their lifetime
⚠️ Shingles can cause severe pain, nerve damage, and long-lasting complications

💉 The Shingles vaccine requires 2 doses for best protection.

✔️ No doctor’s prescription needed! Our pharmacists can prescribe the vaccine right here at the pharmacy, making it quick and convenient to get protected.

💰 Good news: The vaccine is often covered by private drug plans — and if you’re unsure, we can check your coverage for you!

You may also qualify if you are 40+ and immunocompromised, including people:
• Undergoing chemotherapy
• Taking biologic medications
• Managing conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, Crohn’s disease, and other inflammatory conditions

📞 Call us today to book or ask if you qualify!

Help us reach our goal of 21 people vaccinated in 21 days — and protect yourself from shingles before it strikes.

Who will be #1 of our 21?
