Stay Safe this Respiratory Season by staying up to date on vaccines!
Stay safe this respiratory illness season by staying up to date on vaccines! The updated COVID-19 vaccine is expected by early October. It is strongly recommended that individuals at high risk as well as essential service workers get the new COVID vaccine in the fall. Free flu shots for individuals aged six months and older will be available at the end of October at doctor and nurse practitioner offices, participating pharmacies and some public health units. And, beginning in October, families with infants up to 8 months old and children with high risk conditions up to 24 months old, will have access to a new RSV immunization through the recently expanded publicly funded RSV prevention program.
If you are unsure about which vaccines you need, and when, speak to your health care provider. Stay safe this respiratory illness season and prevent unnecessary visits to the hospital by staying up to date on vaccinations.
