This year’s flu vaccine

Just like any other flu seasons, this year’s vaccine contains the unactivated, or dead, version of three viruses. 

The vaccine is available to everyone over the age of 6 months.

The province of Ontario has stocked enough flu vaccine for everyone and they recommend that everyone get protected with a flu shot.

However, there are certain groups who are strongly recommended to get a flu shot. Click here for more information.
