Flu shots 2020
Flu shots 2020
Important things to note:
- Please note that we are currently OUT OF FLU SHOTS
- We expect to receive our next shipment at the end of October
- We will update the website and send out a new email to our patients once we schedule new flu shot clinic dates.
OTHER OPTIONS TO CONSIDER:
• Pharmacies have now received their shipments of the vaccine (including the high dose) & can
administer the shot to patients 5 years and older.
** If you receive your flu shot outside of Discovery Family Health, we kindly ask that you inform us of when and where you received it so that we can update your chart.
We appreciate and thank you for your patience and understanding in advance as our phone lines will undoubtably be overwhelmed with calls over the next little while. We will do our best to return all calls in a timely manner,
but we kindly remind you to please only call once/leave 1 voicemail.
CLINIC update regarding covid-19:
CLINIC update regarding covid-19:
The health and well-being of our patients, staff and surrounding community are of the utmost importance to us. This is definitely a very challenging time for everyone. In following Public Health guidelines and MOH recommendations, it is imperative to limit the spread of this viral outbreak and to minimize the risks to those that are most susceptible.
With that said, in an effort to keep our patients safe, the clinic will be contacting any currently booked patients regarding
their appointments and providing options to them. Moving forward we will:
- Not be booking any non-urgent appointments (ex: Physicals, etc) and instead, triaging urgent appointments by phone or video/ telemedicine.
- Prescription renewals can be faxed from your Pharmacy to the clinic and if possible, will be renewed (at no charge) for the time being.
- Only essential pre-screened visits, injections, prenatal and well baby visits will continue to be seen at the clinic.
We kindly ask that you delay requesting any appointments that can safely wait until we are able to return to our usual daily operation.
Please be advised that as a precautionary measure, we are not currently offering our after hours urgent care in person. Instead, our family practice patients will be offered a phone call from the on-call doctor (limited spots available).
