Partner With Dispensaries Ltd: Travel Health for Your Clients
Travel agents across Edmonton, Sherwood Park, St. Albert, and Spruce Grove refer their clients to Dispensaries Ltd for pre-travel health consultations and travel vaccinations. Your clients get pharmacist-level travel health care in one visit; you get a dependable local partner who makes your itineraries safer.

- One-stop convenience: consultation, vaccinations, and travel kits in a single pharmacy visit — no waiting weeks for a travel clinic appointment.
- Destination expertise: our pharmacists tailor recommendations to each itinerary, from all-inclusive resorts to backcountry trekking.

How the Referral Works

What a Pre-Travel Pharmacy Consultation Covers
Before you travel, our pharmacists review your destination, itinerary, activities, and health history to build a personalized travel health plan. That includes destination-specific vaccination recommendations, advice on food and water safety, insect-bite prevention, altitude and motion sickness strategies, and a review of how travel may affect your existing medications and refill timing. In Alberta, pharmacists licensed by the Alberta College of Pharmacy can both advise on and administer travel vaccinations, so in most cases everything can be handled in one pharmacy visit — no separate clinic appointment required.
We recommend booking your consultation about six weeks before departure when possible, since some travel vaccinations are given as a series or take time to build protection. Travelling sooner? Come in anyway — there is almost always something worthwhile we can do, even on short notice.
A Trusted Alberta Pharmacy Since 1934
Dispensaries Ltd has been caring for Alberta families for over 90 years. What began in 1934 as a single Edmonton dispensary has grown into a network of seven neighbourhood pharmacies across Edmonton, Sherwood Park, St. Albert, and Spruce Grove — each one staffed by pharmacists licensed by the Alberta College of Pharmacy. Through generations of change in healthcare, our approach has stayed the same: take the time to know each patient, and make medicine fit the person rather than the other way around.
That philosophy is why we invest in specialized compounding labs, professional-grade supplement lines, and pharmacist-reviewed patient education through our Health Hub. Whether you visit us in person or order from across Canada, you're working with a pharmacy team that treats your questions as seriously as your prescriptions.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I refer a client to Dispensaries Ltd for travel health?
Simply direct your client to their nearest Dispensaries Ltd location — no formal referral paperwork needed. For itineraries booked six or more weeks out, suggest they visit soon after booking so vaccination series can be completed before departure.
Can Dispensaries Ltd handle a whole travel group?
Yes. We coordinate consultations and vaccinations for families, wedding parties, cruise groups, tour groups, and school trips. Contact your nearest location in advance and we will arrange appointments for the whole group.
Can a pharmacist give travel vaccines in Alberta?
Yes. Alberta pharmacists with injection authorization from the Alberta College of Pharmacy can administer most travel vaccinations directly in the pharmacy. At Dispensaries Ltd, you can complete your travel consultation and vaccinations in one visit — no separate travel clinic appointment needed.
How far in advance of my trip should I visit?
Ideally about six weeks before departure, since some travel vaccinations are given as a series or take time to build protection. If your trip is sooner, still come in — our pharmacists can prioritize what matters most for your destination and timeline.
Pharmacist-Reviewed Health Education
Beyond filling prescriptions, Dispensaries Ltd publishes the Health Hub — a library of pharmacist-reviewed articles on topics our patients actually ask about: managing stress with science-backed supplements, understanding GLP-1 medications and the eating habits that support them, conquering acid reflux naturally, choosing skincare serums that really work, and finding your caffeine sweet spot for cognitive health. Every article is written to inform, not to sell, and reviewed for accuracy by our pharmacy team.
