Flu Shots
We strongly encourage all our patients to book a flu shot appointment through their pharmacy.
We are not able to hold a "Flu Clinic" nor book appointments for only a flu shot due to COVID-19 restrictions. We will have limited flu vaccine available for those patients we book an in person visit for due to their other medical conditions.
Telemedicine
Regular scheduled appointments will be conducted over the phone until further notice. This allows us to significantly increase the safety for patients, physician and staff that work within our health care system. Zoom video appointments are available upon request.
If you have questions about telemedicine you can learn more at https://bccfp.bc.ca/myfamilydoctorcares/ or by contacting our office.
