Health Initiatives

The team at Rideau Valley Health Services is launching new health initiatives in order to help protect or educate our patients.  We have chosen to start by helping our patients by providing education and access to appropriate vaccinations.

HPV protection

We are currently launching an effort to ensure our unimmunized patients that are not yet immunized against  HPV.  Protection against HPV has shown a reduction in many types of cancers. Eligible patients will receive important information about ways to protect themselves against HPV with immunization utilizing the Gardasil 9 vaccine.  Target populations of adults aged 18-55 years old will receive communication via email in the near future.  If you have any questions about this or any vaccine, please contact your physician.  

General Vaccine information
