Vaccines are an important part of preventative care. We offer all OHIP covered vaccines in clinic.
We will administer the vaccine during a routine appointment (like a well baby or preventative health exam) or you can book specifically with our nurses by going in the portal below and selecting nursing injections.
Book through the patient portal.
