COVID-19 VACCINE UPDATE
ManitobaVaccine.ca
COVID-19 immunizations have started in Manitoba, but the vaccine is not yet available for everyone. Our clinic does not yet have vaccine to offer you. When vaccine supplies become available, eligibility will be set by the provincial government primarily by age.
To help you find out when you’ll be eligible, Doctors Manitoba created ManitobaVaccine.ca. We encourage you to visit the site, check your eligibility, and sign up to be notified about when you become eligible. You’ll also answers to common vaccine questions too.
As physicians, we support and trust these new vaccines. They are safe and effective, and we recommend that all adults get immunized with very few exceptions.
We also want to reassure you that it’s natural to have questions. These are new vaccines for a new disease. Check out ManitobaVaccine.ca for more information. Your doctor is also here to answer your questions and talk about your concerns.
Thank you for your patience, and please continue to do all you can to prevent spread of the virus, and to keep you and your loved ones safe. This means wearing a mask when you’re out, staying six feet from others, limiting contact with others, and washing your hands frequently.

Virtual Care
We do our best to make sure that any information you give to us during virtual care visits, is private and secure, but no video or audio tools are ever completely secure. There is an increased security risk that your healthcare information may intercepted or disclosed to third parties when using video or audio communication tools.
To help us keep your information safe and secure, you can understand that video, emails, call, or texts you may receive are not secure in the same way as a private appointment in an exam room.
Use a private computer/device (that is not an employer's or third party's computer/device), secure accounts and a secure internet connection.
If you are concerned about using video or audio tools for virtual care, other arrangements can be made. However, please note that visiting a healthcare provider in person comes with a higher risk of coming into contact with COVID-19 and spreading the virus.
