COVID-19 Vaccination Information
Updated Oct 12, 2021
Our clinic IS NOT INVOLVED in the official distribution or administration of any of the COVID-19 vaccines.
Getting vaccinated is easy and safe, through your local Health Authority and through certain pharmacies. Spread the word and help your friends and family register, book an appointment and get the vaccine, using the following link, or calling 1-833-838-2323, seven days a week, 7 am to 7 pm (PDT). Telephone for the Deaf: dial 711. Registration is open to anyone born in 2003 or earlier (18+).
People aged 30 and older (born in 1991 or earlier) may get the AstraZeneca vaccine or the Moderna vaccine (for the Northern Health Authority area only) at eligible pharmacies with vaccine supply. The participating pharmacies are listed on the BC Pharmacy Association website. The list of pharmacies will be updated regularly. Please ensure you bring your personal health number, which is found on the BC Services Card or CareCard. Appointments at eligible pharmacies cannot be booked through the Get Immunized COVID-19 vaccine appointment booking phone line/online booking tool.
People deemed clinically extremely vulnerable have been invited to have the third COVID-19 vaccine dose
You will be contacted by the provincial Get Vaccinated system about how and when to book a third dose, about 4 weeks after you receive your second dose.
- If you've selected email or SMS communication, you'll be sent a link to book an appointment online
- If you've asked to be contacted by phone, a call centre agent will call you to book an appointment
BC Vaccine Card
You don't need a third dose to be considered fully vaccinated on your BC Vaccine Card. It is based on whether you have your first dose by September 13 and your second dose by October 24.
For the full 3rd vaccine dose information and criteria, visit the following link.
The criteria are also listed in the Information for people who are moderately to severely immunocompromised document.
Dr. Shyman has relocated practice
Updated Apr 5, 2021
Effective Apr 4, 2021, Dr. Shyman relocated her practice to another clinic in West Kelowna. Her last day at our clinic was Mar 30, 2021. Efforts have been made so that all her patients be notified. A copy of the official letter sent out to her patients can be downloaded here.
As her practice is still in town, all her existing and future patients are invited to make arrangements to see her at the new location. Vintage View Medical will not be able to follow on existing test results or ongoing assessments and investigations, and all the inquiries regarding these and other aspects of Dr. Shyman's practice will need to be directed to the new location.
