This year's flu vaccine will be available by appointment only. At this time, high risk patients are the priority. You can book with nursing staff from Monday to Friday 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.  Criteria (for high risk) noted below:

• Babies under 6 months are too young to get the flu shot, but they’ll get some protection if their parent gets the flu shot while pregnant
• Children under the age of 5 years because their immune systems are developing, and their airways are small and more easily blocked
• People over 65 years old, because their immune systems are weaker and they may have an underlying condition that increases their risk
• Pregnant people, because their immune system, heart and lungs change – especially later in pregnancy – and makes it harder to fight infection
• People with underlying health conditions, such as asthma, heart disease or diabetes

Please note: Public Health gives us limited quantities. We will update this site if our supply is low.

All other patients may receive the flu vaccine on or after November 1^st.

• You can validate your demographic information, such as address, phone number and OHIP version code.
