<b><u>Message for Community Physician Clinics - Updated May 6, 2024</u></b><br> <p>Please be advised that due to contract expiration in May 2024, there will be a temporary pause in distribution of provincially funded vaccine to community medical clinics following May 14, 2024. Any vaccine remaining in inventory after May 14, 2024 can continue to be provided to patients until inventory is depleted or expired. Please continue to follow the AVI expectations and responsibilities when managing your remaining vaccine inventory. Distribution of provincially funded vaccine to community medical clinics is anticipated to resume in Fall 2024. AVI registration for Community Physician Clinic will not be available until provincially funded vaccine distribution resumes.
