The Stratford Family Health Team, STAR Family Health Team, Happy Valley Family Health Team, and Mitchell Family Doctors will have the booking link on their websites and social media accounts.

If you require assistance booking your appointment online, please consider reaching out to a trusted family member or friend. Primary care offices remain very busy and although we are here to help, there could be a significant delay in returning your call.

The Moderna vaccine is part of the Huron Perth allotment for primary care, and will be administered at the clinic. The Moderna COVID-19 vaccine is an mRNA vaccine (similar to the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine) that is approved for people who are 18 years of age or older. For more information about the Moderna vaccine, visit the Ontario Government's website.

The Primary Care Working Group of the Huron Perth Mass Vaccination Advisory Committee (HPMVAC) is working with Huron Perth Public Health to organize the clinic.
