COVID-19 Vaccine Approval in Canada

December 2020

Many of you may have heard that Health Canada has approved a vaccine for the prevention of COVID-19. The news was published on December 9 2020, and it was a historic decision, as no vaccine in history has been developed at this speed anywhere in the world. COVID has claimed the lives of many, and the promise of a vaccine is providing hope after months of uncertainty.

Read about the COVID vaccine from the Health Canada website HERE and for BC-specific information HERE.

    • Family doctor offices are not administering the vaccine at this time

  • We ask for your patience as we all wait for the rollout in the coming months

    • We will update any news on this website as usual

    • Please refrain from calling our office to request a vaccine at this time
