Flu Shot Clinics
Flu shots are in!
We are working hard to deliver flu shots as safely and efficiently as possible. We appreciate your patience. Please read through carefully.
A few general points about the Flu shot:
- Flu shots can be given to anyone over 6 months of age.
- The nasal spray is not offered by public health this year.
- All children under 9 years of age receiving the flu shot for the first time must receive 2 doses, at least 4 weeks apart.
- NACI currently recommends children 6 months to 5 years of age wait at least 14 days between COVID-19 vaccine and other vaccines.
