It is our understanding the age groups will be dropping quickly, keep checking back for updates.
Time to second vaccine- As per the Government of Ontario- 'Increasing the time between first and second doses allows more Ontarians to get the benefit of immunity from a first dose while the vaccine supply continues to be limited. Research and real world experience have shown that with even a single dose of the vaccine, there’s protection from severe complications, hospitalization and death due to COVID-19'. Contrary to the government's plan, we recommend, if at all possible, that you receive your second dose of vaccine according to the manufacturers’ recommendations, despite the current four month wait time, especially if you are elderly or immune-compromised.
We do not have any COVID-19 vaccines stored at Maple Leaf Medical Clinic.
