Dear Patients,

Please see below for eligibility for Halton residents in the coming weeks:

• 50+ who cannot work from home (May 3rd as previously announced)

• 40+ who cannot work from home - eligible to book as of Wednesday May 5th

• Age Groups: All individuals 50+ are eligible to book starting Wednesday May 12th

Please be advised Group 1 Essential works still need to provide a letter from their employer, however these new groups of people who cannot work from home do not need a letter from their employer. They must attest to working outside the home and provide proof of residency at their appointment.

Residents 40+ are eligible for vaccination at participating pharmacies and primary care offices. At this time our office is not providing COVID immunizations but the pharmacy we share space with does have vaccines.

Residents who are 16 or 17 years old will be vaccinated with the Pfizer vaccine and must have had their 16th birthday on or before the date of the first dose appointment.
