May is Hypertension Awareness Month

Hypertension is a condition where blood pressure (BP) is consistently higher than normal. Routine blood pressure checks can help with early detection of high blood pressure and reduce your risk of complications.

New Vision patients are invited to submit their home blood pressure readings for a chance to win an Atoma Premium Advanced Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor. The BP monitor was generously donated by Greenbrook Pharmacy.

Paxlovid and Fourth Dose Update

Paxlovid (Nirmatrelvir/Ritonavir)

Antiviral treatment (Paxlovid) is now available for people testing positive for COVID-19 (via rapid antigen test or PCR) with symptoms who are at higher risk of severe COVID-19. These treatments must be taken within the first 5 to 7 days of your symptoms starting.

To check if you are eligible for a prescription, please see: https://covid-19.ontario.ca/covid-treatment-screener/

If you are eligible, please call the team at 519-578-3510. Our pharmacists will be conducting phone appointments to prescribe Paxlovid. An assessment does not guarantee a prescription.

Ages 60+

COVID-19 Update

Masking and PPE:

As of March 21st, most mask mandates end in Ontario. However, patients will be required to wear a mask in our health care setting. We ask that patients continue to do the self-screener posted in the office and notify staff so appropriate PPE and infection control protocols are implemented. Please know that you will not be turned away or refused care.
