Good news: we’ve begun administering the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines once again! The age category has now opened for a 4th dose for all those 18+ so long as you have not had Covid-19 in the past 3 months and/or received your 3rd dose in the past 5 months. If you’re still looking for a third dose, all those 12+ all eligible as long as you’ve completed your primary series of vaccines more than 180 (6 months) ago. If you’re looking to book an appointment, please give us a call at 613-838-5352 and we’d be happy to accommodate you as soon as we can. Concerning pediatric doses, Pfizer vaccines for 5-12 year olds are also available, but please call us to confirm availability.
Covid-19 testing kits are also available for free in-store pickup, though we are mostly limiting to dispensing 1 testing kit per person (containing 5 tests per kit).

We administered lots of Moderna vaccines last week but have exhausted supplies. We are currently waiting for further supplies to be released by the government. Patients who received the Astra-Zeneca vaccine between March 10-19, 2021 are eligible for the second dose (depending on availability). Our patients did not fall in this timeframe so we are waiting for the government to relax the time restriction and also supply us so we can administer 2nd doses to those that wish. We will let you know when this is the case.

We are currently awaiting our next shipment of vaccines from the government. We will update the website when we have more vaccines available. Please be patient, we are as anxious as everybody else that the whole community has the chance to get vaccinated. Thanks!
