Health science program immunization consultation:
Please call 403.210.9355 and ask for an immunization consult appointment. Full information regarding COVID precautions and instructions for the appointment will be provided when booking.
UCalgary students: virtual, telephone and in-person appointments are available. Call 403.210.9355 or make an appointment booking online.
Same-day urgent appointments are also available. To book, please call 403.210.9355. You’ll speak with a nurse who’ll determine if your concern needs to be addressed at an in-person or virtual appointment.
For all virtual appointments, you’ll receive an appointment within an a.m. or p.m. timeframe (appointments don’t have specific times). This means the physician will call you between either 9 a.m. and noon, or noon to 4:30 p.m. on the day of your appointment. Selected evenings may be available.
Out-of-province students: You must make an in-person appointment and bring your out-of-province health card with you.
If you’re a Quebec resident, you’ll need to pay for your service and arrange for reimbursement through Quebec Health Care.
UCalgary staff and faculty: If you have an urgent concern, call 403.210.9355 to arrange an in-person or phone appointment.
