The Osgoode Village Family Health Organization continues to respond to developments of COVID-19 and we are taking measures to protect our patients, staff, physicians and our community. As the situation is rapidly changing, our policies and booking guidelines have been evolving to keep in line with current recommendations by the Ministry of Health and Ottawa Public Health. We will continue to screen patients over the phone and at check-in. Masks will remain required in our waiting and exam rooms indefinitely.
Vaccination is one of the most effective ways to prevent the spread and reduce the impact of infectious diseases. COVID-19 vaccination helps to protect you by creating an antibody response without having to experience the illness of COIVID-19. Ontario Ministry of Health website https://covid-19.ontario.ca/ have reliable resources for further information on how the vaccines work, development and approval processes. At this time, there is no plan to administer the COVID-19 vaccine at our clinic. Various strategies will be used to distribute and administer the COVID-19 vaccine across Eastern Ontario, based on the quantity and type of vaccine received. To check for current eligibility, for more information regarding vaccine rollout, and booking options please click the link for Ottawa Public Health https://www.ottawapublichealth.ca/en/public-health-topics/covid-19-vaccine.aspx .
