It is of the utmost importance to get tested for COVID-19 at the onset of any symptoms, regardless of your vaccination status, even if you feel your symptoms are a common cold or allergies. If you’ve been tested for COVID-19, and are awaiting your results, please stay in isolation until you’ve been advised by a healthcare professional.  

 

COVID-19 vaccines will be administered by appointment only moving forward; weekly clinics will no longer be held, unless a need is identified. Call the Community Health Program at 613-575-2341 ext. 3220 to schedule an appointment.
