These guidelines are in keeping with recommendations from the Saskatchewan Health Authority.

Only patients with appointments are permitted in the clinic. We are not able to allow accompanying persons. We realize this is very difficult and special circumstances may arise that we can accommodate on a case by case basis. Newborns with new mothers
are welcome.
We require all persons entering the clinic to wear a medical style disposable mask. We can provide a mask for patients who do not have one.
Two meter distancing between individuals will be maintained whenever possible
Our current disinfection routines for examination rooms and common areas will continue
We encourage all eligible patients to get fully immunized

If you have an appointment or procedure booked, you will be screened for a history of symptoms and potential exposures to COVID 19 contacts by phone.

Depending on the nature of the planned appointment or procedure, we will determine if the visit needs to take place in the hospital, assessment center, office or by phone.

For clinic appointments, you may come to reception on arrival. Once registered, you can wait in the assigned areas in our waiting room or elevator lobby.

Gynecologic surgeries and hospital procedures are presently being triaged by SHA administration and we will communicate any changes or preparations required with you as soon as we are made aware.

Thank you for your understanding. We review our Covid policies monthly.

Covid Vaccine and Pregnancy

The Covid vaccine is recommended in pregnancy because the risk of the infection in pregnancy outweighs potential risk of the vaccine. Preventing infection is best. Talk to your doctor about your personal health situation and to answer any questions.

Saskatchewan Health Authority will prioritize pregnant women for the vaccine. You will require a letter from your obstetrical care provider to make the appointment. Please talk to your doctor or call the office if you wish to have the vaccine and we will provide the required letter.

The timeline of the vaccine matters to effectiveness and our vaccine supply.

The Covid vaccine should be given:

• More than 90 days after a documented Covid infection

• More than 14 days after Tdap (Pertussis or Whooping cough) vaccine

Once you receive the Covid vaccine, you should not receive another vaccine for 28 days.

Should I get the COVID-19 Vaccine?
