IPAC Canada is an organization focussing on infection prevention and control in the community and in healthcare facilities.  IPAC Canada cannot provide direction or commentary about clinical/patient care matters and, therefore, cannot provide clinical opinions. If you are a patient with a clinical question, please contact your healthcare provider to seek appropriate guidance.

IPAC Canada offers these links for additional resources for infection control professionals. Links presented here do not imply endorsement by IPAC Canada.
