Extremely Vulnerable Patients
Covid vaccines are here. Please use this link #1 to book your appointment. Be ready with your health care card and a pen to complete a form at the vaccination site. The vaccine goes into your arm muscle, just like the flu shot, so wear a short sleeved shirt and take off any coats, sweaters, etc when you arrive at the vaccine site so that you are ready for the immunizer.
For those who are clinically vulnerable, below is a PDF containing a list of the criteria the Government considers for eligible patients. Here is a link (#2) to learn more. Please do not contact the office until after April 15th to get an exemption letter–family physicians have not yet received the proper documentation from the Government so we have nothing to complete yet.
If you receive a letter and ARE NOT clinically vulnerable, please disregard so that other clinically vulnerable people can use that spot.
