To Our Valued Patients:
We at Woodbridge Medical Centre Family Health Team strongly advise that all our patients who are eligible, be vaccinated against COVID-19. As we enter a 4th wave, it is predominately affecting those who are unvaccinated.
The College of Physicians and Surgeons (CPSO) has advised us that there are very few acceptable medical exemptions for the COVID-19 vaccination can only be given in the following circumstances:
- Allergist/Immunologist – confirmed allergy or anaphylactic reaction to a previous dose or to any of its components that cannot be mitigated
- Cardiologist – confirmed diagnosed episode of myocarditis or pericarditis after receipt of an mRNA vaccine
Letters for such exemptions may only be written by or in consultation with your allergist or cardiologist. We will not be providing medical exemptions to our patients who do not meet the criteria. If you have any questions about the COVID-19 vaccine, please make an appointments with your Physician or Nurse-Practitioner.
We realize that this is a challenging time for everyone. Please remember that we have a zero tolerance policy for abusive language or behaviour towards our staff and physicians. We ask that respectful language and behaviour be used in discussions. We look forward to working with you to end this pandemic.
