Notice of Fraudulent emails regarding vaccines
Please take note of the important information below regarding fraudulent outreach on COVID-19 vaccine supply:
The RCMP Federal Policing Joint Intelligence Group (JIG) has prepared a Bulletin to address the continued unsolicited offers of COVID-19 vaccine for sale. The Bulletin has been shared with law enforcement partners and government agencies in all provinces and territories, including their procurement and departmental security officials.
The only way to access these COVID-19 vaccines is through clinics organized or endorsed by local public health authority in collaboration with Canada's federal, provincial and territorial governments.
If you wish to report having received potentially fraudulent correspondence on COVID-19 vaccines, please contact Health Canada at https://healthycanadians.gc.ca/apps/radar/MD-IM-0005.08.html

CFPC Members Survey on COVID-19
The College of Family Physicians of Canada (CFPC) is surveying its members to learn how COVID-19 is affecting their practices. Given that many CFPC members are front-line health care workers, it is critically important to know how family doctors have changed their practices and how they are serving their patients and communities in new ways. We need to know the impact the pandemic continues to have on family doctors and family practices. These survey results will help us respond to members’ needs and advocate for support for the care they provide to their patients and communities.
CFPC members: Please look for the personalized survey invitation the CFPC sent to you in April 2021.
Can’t find your invitation? Please contact us at [email protected].
Be heard!
In April 2020 the College conducted a similar survey of members to learn how COVID-19 was affecting your practices at the start of the pandemic. Your input has been instrumental in shaping the CFPC’s response to the pandemic and in supporting members with new resources and continuing professional development. We used the survey data to help develop important advocacy messages and campaigns that address the needs and concerns of family doctors. We need to hear from CFPC members again to ensure that our efforts continue to respond to changing needs.
| 2020 | 2021 |
|---|---|
| In April 2020... | A year later... |
| 73% of family doctors were screening patients for COVID-19. | Are family physicians being appropriately engaged in vaccine rollout efforts? |
| 22% of family doctors started work in new settings due to COVID-19. | Throughout the pandemic, how have family doctors relieved pandemic pressures in a wide variety of care settings? |
| 76% of family doctors reported reduced workloads and most (63%) were concerned about the financial impact on their practices. | Are family physicians still experiencing reduced workloads, or are they working beyond their capacity? Are financial impacts still a major concern? |
| 89% of family doctors were doing virtual visits and four out of five patient encounters were happening as virtual care. | How is virtual care affecting the quality of patient care? How are virtual care and remote work affecting collaboration among members of health care teams? |
| 66% of family doctors were coping well, but 5% were feeling burned out and were thinking of taking a break. | How are family physicians doing now? How are their mental and emotional health? Are feelings of burn out changing? |
Please look for the CFPC Members Survey on COVID-19 invitation in your email.
You can help answer these questions.
You can help the CFPC serve its members and their patients!

Treatment of COVID-19 with Chloroquine or Hydroxychloroquine
The CFPC supports the Canadian Pharmacists Association advice to pharmacists to not dispense hydroxychloroquine or azithromycin to treat symptoms of COVID-19.
