The Northwestern Health Unit is anticipating huge numbers in flu shots this year.
Medical Officer of Health Dr. Kit Young Hoon says everyone should be getting one because of the pandemic.
“The public can now book shots with us online or by calling us. All Northwestern Health Unit clinics will be by appointments only to ensure public safety. All clinics will follow strict COVID-19 prevention measures.”
The vaccine is expected to be available after Thanksgiving.
Dr. Kit Young Hoon says anyone over the age of five will also be able to get the vaccine at pharmacies, from a family doctor, or a nurse practitioner starting in mid-October.
