COVID-19 Vaccines


Your Core Care doctors STRONGLY recommend that you get the COVID-19 vaccine.  The benefits of the vaccine far outweigh any risks - including for pregnant and breastfeeding women.  All of our doctors recommend the vaccine for children aged 5-11.  Click here for more information about COVID-19 vaccine and children.


Not really sure about the COVID-19 vaccine, or the information you've seen?  Click here to book a phone appointment to talk to a specialist doctor about your questions.


VACCINE EXEMPTIONS: There are very few reasons why you should not get the COVID-19 vaccine (such as an allergy to the components of the vaccine).  We are able to provide exemption letters only to those that have conditions on this listClick here to see the full list from the Ministry of Health.  If you do not have a condition on this list, we can't provide you an exemption letter.
