PPE Order Forms
To support you, a Personal Protective Equipment Distribution Guideline has been developed. It contains information on the various programs and guidelines for ordering.
Option 1 - Emergency Allocations
All Health Care System Providers can receive up to 5 days of the following products, pending availability when faced with an emergency shortage (i.e. providers with 14 days or less of product on hand). If in outbreak, may receive up to 14 days of selected product. This supply should only be used when there is an unexpected shortage of products and where the normal supply chain cannot accommodate.
