JUST IN: Ontario pharmacists will be able to prescribe the antiviral COVID-19 treatment Paxlovid to patients as of next week.

Health Minister Sylvia Jones made the announcement on Thursday, saying this will be “another step to make it more convenient and faster for Ontarians to access care.”

While pharmacies have been allowed to dispense the drug, patients still needed a prescription from a doctor or clinical assessment centre in order to access the medication. As of Dec. 12, this will change. Eligible patients will be able to get prescriptions for Paxlovid in-person or virtually at no cost.

“By increasing access to these treatments in more convenient ways, we are helping to keep people healthier and reduce COVID-19 related hospitalizations,” Jones told reporters on Thursday.This is a breaking news story. More to come.

More money for Galen Weston

So pharmacists can now prescribe this new, rushed, experimental drug that has no long term data, but doctors are losing their license for prescribing ivermectin which is considered one of the safest drugs in human history? 🤡🇨🇦

Ask yourself why the liberal biased Canadian government propaganda media is silent about this!

Why? Vaccines are supposed to do this right? How about getting cold/flu meds back on the shelves first?

Great let’s bring more sick people into pharmacies

She was much 'quieter' this time around. This government is literally doing NOTHING, like for one, spending the desperately needed funds and support to our Healthcare workers/Hospitals, in order to save lives.The poor family in Ajax losing their precious 2 year old is CRIMINAL😡
