COVID Vaccination Rollout: 

As many of our patients are enquiring about the COVID-19 vaccines, we like to share with you the latest update we have from Ontario Medical Association.

We move from a hope to a reality, the need to sort out practical issues has become increasingly relevant. Here’s what we know so far:

     · There will be three phases. In the first phase, one million people will be vaccinated, including all frontline health care workers, Long Term Care (LTC) residents, seniors living in congregate care settings, adults among Indigenous communities/populations, and adult recipients of chronic home care.

     · The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine (which is not easily transported, and thus requires recipients to travel to the storage site) will be administered this week to 2,500 LTC and hospital-based health care workers at two pilot sites: University Health Network in Toronto and the Ottawa Hospital. This will be expanded to 14 hospital sites in grey-lockdown zones in the next few weeks as more doses (up to 90,000) become available.

     · The Moderna vaccine, however, can be transported, so that vaccine will be delivered directly to the residents of LTC homes, retirement homes, hospitals and other centres for seniors in grey-lockdown zones. It is expected to arrive over the next few weeks, pending Health Canada approval.

     · In early 2021, we can expect the administration of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine to be expanded to up to 21 sites, while the Moderna vaccine will be expanded to more LTC homes, retirement homes and remote, Indigenous communities. 

The vaccine is exciting but won’t be fully rolled out until September 2021. Till this happens we still encourage our patients to take up of all the COVID-19 safety behaviours including masking, handwashing, social distancing, and now vaccination.

To our dear patients who are celebrating Hanukkah, King City Medical staff and doctors like to wish all of you a very Happy Hanukkah!  "Hanukkah Sameach!" And we are wishing all of our patients a season full of light and love!

We like to remind our patients that we are still having flu shots both regular shots and high dose (senior shots), please go to the portal and book your appointment Monday-Saturday, or phone the office and book your appointment.

Also, next week our second waiting area will be open so we can accommodate 8 patients waiting in the office if needed. We still require our patients to text/ ring the bell/ knock the door (to get permission from our receptionist to enter the building) when you arrive for your appointment, picking/dropping forms, inquiring...etc. Please do not walk into the office without prior permission from our receptionist for your own protection and to protect other patients in the waiting area or exiting our office.

We wish everyone to be safe and healthy.
