ATTENTION: Flu VaccinationÂ
The Rexall team will be in the Oral Surgery suite on October 20 from 7:00 AM to 8:30 AM to administer flu vaccinations. Outside of this designated time, Rexall staff will also be available to provide flu vaccinations on a drop-in basis on the first floor (Rexall location) from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM for both staff and students.

Availability for Phase 1 COVID-19 vaccines begins on October 1, specifically for healthcare workers and students training in health facilities.

We wanted to share a comment we received from one of our patients through our SoD OHC Patient Satisfaction Survey:
"I really like the communication between the professors, the students and the patient. They explain things very well and readily respond to any questions a patient might have. I feel this is top rate service with up to date procedures equipment etc."
