Treatment is a part of our short term and long term future, but the first step knowing if you are eligible, getting a test, and accessing care.

Hereโs a great online tool to determine eligibility for Paxlovid treatment in Ontario if you develop #COVID symptoms. It was designed by my Family MD colleague & @uoftmedicine 0T0 classmate @sohalv: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1Fโฆ. Assessment centre info - covid-19.ontario.ca/assessmeโฆ
Another reminder โฌ๏ธ about the @FamPhysCan webinar next week. Good timing as @COVIDSciOntario updated its recommendations on Paxlovid today:covid19-sciencetable.ca/wp-cโฆ @DrKateJMiller @ASPphysician @MPaiMD @DavidJamesHarri @OCFP_President @afhto @DrJeffSisler @victorng_md @GovCanHealth
Yes, COVID treatments are available. Paxlovid rx for a vulnerable patient on a long weekend. Seek treatment early if you are at risk. @SharkawyMD @zchagla @TorontoIDDoc @allan_k_grillMD @daveinthehillls @davidkaplanmd

Individuals in Hamilton and region have access to therapies if they are high risk (in the groups below).
The first step is getting care as early as possible after symptoms develop.
Please seek help or testing if you fit into these categories.
Our COVID,Cold&Flu Care clinic team at a womens shelter vaccinating some of the most vulnerable today. #Preventionb4treatment @allan_k_grillMD @thisisourshotca @SharkawyMD @MHPCN @daveinthehillls @regionofpeel

Thankful that my 9 yo son could get his Covid vaccine today. Especially on such a difficult day with omicron. Not losing hope. We are ahead of last year. We need to ensure vaccine equity is addressed @MHPCN @davidkaplanmd @allan_k_grillMD @SharkawyMD @thisisourshotca

Dear Ontario, when the next lockdown hits in Oct/Nov it won't be due to not enough kids vaccinated. It'll be due to the same sloppy execution of real PH interventions (ventilation, smart indoor protocols, sick pay) that ignited the prior ones. Unacceptable.
Another day, another first dose, bringing COVID vaccines to the patients. #GetVaccinated #ThisIsOurShotCA Embassy Grand #NoOneLeftBehind
Bringing first dose COVID shots to those who canโt leave their restaurant. #nowasteddose #ThisIsOurShotCA
