The most effective way to decrease complications and reduce the impact of the flu is to get a flu shot.
Health Canada recommends that everyone 6 months and older get the annual flu vaccine as soon as possible once it becomes available. Protective antibodies to the flu develop about two weeks after receiving the shot. Get your flu shot early so you are protected when the flu virus begins to spread in your community.
A flu shot is your best defense against the flu and can save lives by:
- Protecting you and the people close to you
- Preventing you from getting very sick
- Making you less likely to spread the flu
With COVID-19 circulating in our communities, we will be taking necessary precautions to make sure both you and our staff are well-protected during time spent in our pharmacies. For these safety reasons, the flu shot process will be a little different this year. For instance, some of the changes you may see include:
- Your pharmacy may require you to book an appointment
- You may be required to fill out a flu consent form prior to your appointment. Click here for your flu consent form.
- You will be required to wear a mask/face covering
- Pharmacists will wear appropriate protective gear
- Surfaces and high touch areas will be sanitized between appointments
- To ensure physical distancing:
- Pharmacy layout may be different
- Fewer people may be in the pharmacy at one time
