Sun Peaks doctor has message for those seeking COVID-19 vaccine exemption letters

A doctor in Sun Peaks has penned a letter to patients of the Sun Peaks Health Centre after seeing an increase in the number of patients seeking letters exempting them from having to receive a COVID-19 vaccine.

In addition to noting a doctor would be committing fraud if issuing a letter to a patient who does not qualify for an exemption (the criteria for which numbers three), Dr. Shane Barclay makes a number of comments regarding the safety of the vaccines.

For example, Barclay notes the risk of developing a blood clot after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine is far less than the risk of developing a blood clot from the birth control pill and smoking.
