Northern Health Flu Clinics are Now Running
This year it’s especially important to get your flu shot to protect yourself and your community.
To find a flu clinic near you, visit northernhealth.ca or call 8-1-1.
⦁ Making an appointment is strongly encouraged to help reduce line-ups and maintain safe physical distancing, due to COVID-19.
⦁ Plan ahead. Northerners are asked to plan ahead and schedule a time to get their flu shot.
⦁ It’s ok if it takes a couple weeks to get a flu shot. If it takes a week or two for you to get an appointment with pharmacist, physician, or public health clinic, that’s okay – the best time to do it is end of October and into November. That’s the optimal time to be immunized because then we know that the immunity that you get from the vaccine will carry you through the influenza season.
