Immunizations for Youth and School Vaccines:

The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in intermittent province-wide school closures causing disruptions in the School-based Immunization Program. Consequently, Ottawa Public Health has implemented “catch-up” strategies to resume school-based vaccinations. To assist with this, they now have Nurses from Ottawa Public Health holding clinics at your child’s school for youth in Grade 7 and 8.

Given the above, we are encouraging parents/caregivers to visit the Ottawa Public Health website for the organized school based clinics to have their children immunized through the Public Health Program.

Parents can access the Neighbourhood Health & Wellness Hubs site above to see where the community clinics are located for catch up clinics outside of the patients school. Parents can complete the consent form at that time.  Appointments are not needed at these clinics. Neighbourhood Health & Wellness Hubs site:

NEIGHBOURHOOD HEALTH & WELLNESS HUBS WEBSITE

There is a list of schools and the dates for catch up clinics at those schools. The patient needs to be a child from that school to access the catch up clinic there. They will also need to print out and have the consent form completed for the school catch up clinics if they have not done so already.

COVID SCREENING & IN-CLINIC APPOINTMENTS:

The Manotick Medical Centre (MMC) continues to respond to developments of COVID-19 and we are taking measures to protect our patients, staff, physicians and our community. As the situation changes our policies and booking guidelines have been evolving to keep in line with current recommendations by the Ministry of Health and Ottawa Public Health.

Our in-clinic activity continues to be monitored by our front reception team. While in clinic:

• You will be screened upon booking your appointment and when you arrive;
• You will be asked to bring your own mask as it is required to be worn while in-clinic;
• You will be asked to stay 2 m (6ft) away from other people.

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS:

• Wash your hands often with soap and water, or use hand sanitizer;
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth unless you have just washed your hands;
• Cover your cough and sneeze with a tissue or into your arm, not your hand.  Also, make sure to wash your hands afterward;
• Avoid visiting people in hospitals or long-term care centres especially if you are sick;
• Get your flu shot if you haven’t already.
