Flu Shots
More Important than Ever in This Covid-19 Climate
Flu shots are available at the Medical Centre by appointment only. Our patients are encouraged to call the Clinic to schedule your flu shot. Vaccines available for future appointment bookings may be limited to the Regular Dose vaccine. There is strong evidence that the Regular dose vaccine provides suitable protection for all age groups so we encourage your flu shot regardless of the dose available.
We regret that we are unable to offer a flu shot Clinic for the community as we have in past years.
Call 659-2525 - leave your request if you do not get through on the first call.

Covid-19 and the Medical Centre
Update September 2020
The Clinic continues to operate under Covid protocols. Dr. John Erb and Dr. Karoon Samikian do not work at the Centre on the same days. There are two separate teams, each with one physician, nurse practitioner and support staff. This reduces the likelihood of an infected individual requiring the entire staff to go into isolation.
Covid-19 protocols at the Centre reduce face-to-face time in the Clinic, avoid patients sharing the waiting room and provide extra time for cleaning of rooms between patients.
Half or more of all appointments are being done by telephone or video. Same day appointments are available. A phone appointment will precede an in-office visit for purposes of Covid-19 screening and assessing the need for patients to be seen in person.
Many medications are being renewed directly with your pharmacy without a clinic visit. There is no physician fee for prescription renewals.
Entrance to the Clinic is limited to patients with a scheduled appointment and access is permitted only at the time of the appointment. All patients must wear a mask while in the building. Failure to do so will result in not being admitted or being asked to leave the building.
After hour clinics are by scheduled appointment only and may also be done by telephone.
Our ability to take on new patients at this time is very limited as we attempt to prioritize individuals who have significant medical needs.
Thank you for your understanding.
