COVID-19 testing after vaccination
-
The vaccine will not result in a positive COVID test on a PCR/molecular or antigen test.
-
The vaccine is very effective but it is still possible to get COVID-19 after vaccination. If a person tests positive for COVID-19 after vaccination they are still required to isolate in order to prevent any further spread of the virus and their close contacts must quarantine.
-
After you receive your COVID-19 vaccination you may have some side effects similar to COVID symptoms. If your symptoms persist for more than 48 hours it is important to call the MDG at 632-5000 to be screened for COVID-19.

MDG Symptomatic Appointments Beginning 4 April
Beginning 4 April, 31 MDG will change their appointment procedures for patients with COVID-like symptoms. Individuals who have NOT been a close contact of a COVID-19 positive person in the last 10 days, may be seen in the MDG for an appointment. They must show proof of a negative at-home COVID-19 test performed on the same day as the scheduled appointment.
Patients with COVID-like symptoms who are a close contact of a positive person must schedule a test through the MDG before they can be seen. Patients who would like to be tested by the MDG and are not a close contact, may still schedule a test through the appointment line.
