MedMe's External Clinic feature empowers pharmacists to extend their services beyond the pharmacy by hosting clinics at various external locations. For example, pharmacists can organize flu shot clinics at community centres or corporate workplaces.
External clinics are available by default for the Flu Shot (Regular), Flu Shot (65+) and Adult COVID Vaccine appointment types. Additional appointment types can be requested as needed.
