COVID-19 VACCINATION UPDATE
Health Canada continues to move forward with the approval and roll out of the COVID-19 vaccine for use in Canada. We are all excited by this news and recognize that patients are anxious to know when they will be able to recieve the vaccine for themselves and their loved ones.
At this time however, our clinic is NOT involved in administering any COVID-19 vaccinations, and we do not have any information beyond what has been publicly provided by Health Canada.
Please refer to Health Canada's website for information and updates.
You can also check out the Government of Canada website for information on how the Pfizer-Biontech vaccine works.
Details on the rollout of the vaccination to the general population should be released over the next few months. We will update our website as information becomes available and we ask that you check here instead of calling the office as we are not able to return individual calls for information. Rest assured, we will share all information with our patients and advocate for all to get a vaccine when available.
Thank you,
Wilson Medical Group
