About Us

COVID-19

After Hours Clinic

After Hours Clinic

Our After Hours Clinic has all the necessary precautions in place to keep the patients safe during their visit. However, if you think you may have COVID-19 symptoms, please avoid using the After Hours Clinic. 

Please visit this page to find out about COVID-19 testing. To help keep everyone safe, please also follow all health safety measures – keep a safe physical distance from others, wear face masks, wash or sanitize your hands often and stay home if you’re not feeling well – even if you have mild symptoms. 

Please always call the clinic prior to coming to go through the triage questions.

After Hours Clinic

As part of our commitment to you & your family, we operate a year-round After Hours Clinic to offer increased access to primary care exclusively for our FHO members’ patients. Our physicians work in the clinic on a rotating schedule. If your physician is a member of Brantford FHO (see here), then this clinic is for you!


Please try to avoid using other walk-in clinics as they do not routinely send reports of your visit to your primary family physician. 

COVID-19/Flu/RSV

COVID-19/Flu/RSV

COVID-19/Flu/RSV

  

Symptoms of COVID-19, flu and RSV are similar and may include fever, cough, and shortness of breath. Because the symptoms are similar, it can be difficult to distinguish between illnesses caused by respiratory viruses.

Symptoms range from mild to severe. If you feel sick, it’s important that you stay home and talk with a primary care provider if necessary.

Symptoms of respiratory viruses may include any one or more of:

  • fever or chills
  • cough
  • shortness of breath
  • runny nose or nasal congestion
  • headache
  • fatigue
  • sore throat
  • muscle aches or joint pain
  • stomach      problems (such as vomiting or diarrhea)

When to seek medical attention

Those who are immunocompromised or at high risk of severe outcomes should speak with a health-care provider as testing and treatment options may be available.

If you are having difficulty accessing care, you may contact Health811 by phone at 811 or visit Health811 to chat online with a registered nurse for health advice.

If you think you or your child have a respiratory illness, it’s important to monitor your symptoms. Some people can develop severe illnesses which may result in pneumonia or, in infants and children, bronchiolitis. These illnesses can be serious and may require a visit to a health-care provider or to the emergency department.

Respiratory illnesses can also lead to worsening of:

  • asthma
  • Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) — a      chronic disease of the lungs that makes it hard to breathe
  • congestive      heart failure — when the heart can’t pump enough blood and oxygen through      the body

Go to an emergency department if someone has:

  • trouble breathing (working hard to breathe,      breathing faster than normal)
  • pale skin
  • lips that look white or blue
  • asthma or wheezing
  • any      of the following symptoms:
    • very sleepy/difficult to wake
    • a prolonged or very high fever
    • repeated vomiting and unable       to keep any liquids down
    • vomiting or diarrhea       containing a large amount of blood
    • signs       of dehydration with dry mouth or no urination

· COVID-19 vaccines and flu shots

Getting your annual COVID-19 vaccine and flu shot is the best way to remain protected against the most severe outcomes of infection, including hospitalization and death.

The COVID-19 vaccine and flu shot are recommended for everyone six months of age and older to receive annually during respiratory illness season. These immunizations are:

  • safe (including for kids and       if you are pregnant or       breastfeeding)
  • free for everyone aged 6       months and older who lives, works or goes to school in Ontario
  • proven       to reduce the number of doctor visits and       hospitalizations

Testing and treatment

Who is eligible for COVID-19 testing

If you are at increased risk of severe illness and have symptoms of respiratory illness you may be eligible for COVID-19 testing (including PCR and rapid antigen tests). If you are unsure if you are eligible for a test, speak with a health-care provider.

Patients at increased risk may include any of the following individuals:

  • 65 years of age or older (regardless of      immunization status and any other risk factors)
  • immunocompromised (regardless      of immunization status)
  • at      increased risk due to one or more medical      conditions or risk factors

COVID-19 treatment

Antiviral treatments for COVID-19 (including Paxlovid and Remdesivir) can prevent serious illness if administered within the first few days after symptoms start.

A physician, nurse practitioner or participating pharmacist may prescribe antiviral treatments if you:

  • have symptoms and test positive for COVID-19      (positive PCR or rapid antigen test)
  • are      at increased risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19
