We are aware of the increased community incidence of measles and its increased presence on the news and social media recently. You may be wondering if you should receive a measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) booster.
The current recommendations from Public Health Ontario are as follows:
Infants under 6 months: no vaccination recommended
Infants 6-11 months: one dose of MMR may be given if there are plans to travel outside Canada. This is outside of routine vaccination schedule and infants will still require a booster after 12 months and then again at 4-6 years of age.
Children between 12 months to 18 years of age: should have received x2 doses of the MMR vaccine as part of their routine immunization schedule (@ 12 months then again between 4-6 months). *If planning on travelling outside Canada and are under 4 years of age, it is recommended that you receive your second dose before travel.
If you are born before 1970 you are considered to have natural immunity (meaning immunity from community transmission and not vaccination) however you are eligible for one MMR booster.
If you are born after 1970 you are eligible to receive a total of 2 doses, most individuals have received at least one with routine vaccination.
What if I do not know my vaccination status?
You can reach out to our clinic as we may have record of your vaccination history.
If we do not have record of your vaccination history and your immunity is unknown, you are eligible for one MMR booster.
If you are travelling outside of Canada we encourage you to follow up with a travel clinic as they may have their own supply of MMR vaccines (our clinic has limited supply). Travel clinics also provide additional guidance about other vaccines or protocols necessary to travel to your chosen destination.

To renew your prescription, please contact your pharmacy. Check with your pharmacist to see if you still have refills available.
The pharmacy will fax the prescription renewal request to our clinic as needed. The turn-around time for renewal requests is generally 3-5 days , dependant on provider availability.
If an appointment with your primary care provider is needed prior to renewal, the pharmacy will notify you. If you have a medication renewal appointment scheduled, remember to bring all of your medications to the appointment.
Please plan ahead to ensure you do not run out of medications and request the prescription at least one week before you need it.
