COVID-19 VACCINE
We have come to a turning point in our fight against COVID-19 with the development of effective COVID-19 vaccines!After independent and thorough scientific reviews for safety, quality and effectiveness, Health Canada has approved two vaccines for use in Canada.
The Toronto Western Family Health Team strongly supports these vaccines, both as healthcare providers and as individuals who want to do what we can to keep ourselves, our families and patients safe.

Vaccine Hesitancy
We understand there are hesitations about the vaccine for some, and this is a concern for us as health care providers. We have compiled a list of FAQ’s and encourage you to speak with your provider if you have any further questions or concerns.
Vaccine Distribution
The government has developed a provincial ethical framework for COVID-19 vaccine distribution that we are following. At this point, we do not know when the vaccine will be available to the general public and it is unlikely it will be available in the clinic in the same way that other vaccinations have been. We are in close communication with key decision makers and will share any new information with you as we learn more.
