There is a glimmer of hope on the horizon as NW Calgary residents gain access to easy rapid testing and COVID-19 vaccinations.

COVID-19 testing in NW Calgary

Guardian Royal Vista Calgary Pharmacy is now supplying rapid COVID-19 testing.

According to the Centers for Disease Control you may want to consider a test if:

You are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19.
You have had close contact with a confirmed case, even if you aren’t feeling unwell.
You have been referred to do so by a healthcare provider.

About the rapid COVID-19 test:

The Abbot’s Fast Test is what is currently available through our pharmacy in Royal Oak, NW Calgary. This COVID test can be purchased and administered in our clinic with results in as little as 15 minutes!

Public health and staff safety measures

Our NW Calgary pharmacy team makes it a priority to keep you, and the community safe. You are required to wear a mask, sanitize and maintain social distance, when visiting our clinics. Our helpful team members ensure that the space is regularly sanitized and that all personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements are met at all times.

The AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine has arrived at a Calgary pharmacy

The COVID-19 vaccines are effective at preventing illness and reducing symptom severity. They are being administered in phases, addressing the most at-risk first. Currently, we are accepting anyone 65 and over.

If you are not in that age bracket, keep an eye on the Alberta government site to see when you will be eligible for yours.

The Guadian Royal Vista Pharmacy near Royal Oak and Rocky Ridge is offering the AstraZeneca vaccines, which take about 15 minutes to administer. Once you have received your first shot, one of our team members will book you in for your second dose.

What to bring with you

You are not required to bring anything other than your Alberta Health card to your vaccination appointment. Having a mask on hand would be helpful in reducing waste, but we do have some available if you forget yours at home.
