How To Get Your Vaccination

When you are given the form, the greeter will tell you a time to return to receive your vaccination.  This time is based on the average number of people that we can vaccinate in one hour. You are allowed to pick up forms for members of your immediate family/household ONLY (not neighbours, friends, etc.). We will give out forms until we run out of time – we only have so much capacity to vaccinate people in a 6 hour timeframe.  We have very little idea of demand, so we don’t know how long we will have forms available, but will be communicating with our office at 4pm regarding how many forms are left.  If we run out of forms we will try to get information to our phone lines and on our website. When you return to the clinic at your designated time, you will be directed inside the clinic. Do not come back earlier than the time you are given or you will just have to wait. At this time you can use your Health Card and Driver’s Licence for faster registration check in. Use of these personal information cards is your choice and is not required.
