Where do I get a flu shot?

The flu vaccine is typically available to the public starting in mid-October. One of the most common reasons that people don't get their flu shot is due to trouble finding the time to get an appointment.

It's important to keep in mind that you can get the flu shot in many different places including pharmacies, doctor's offices, public health vaccine clinics, and certain workplace clinics. Your vaccination site may also have COVID-19 vaccines available if you wish to receive both at the same time.

In many provinces and territories, flu vaccines are publicly funded so that they're available for free. However, some flu vaccines, such as high-dose flu vaccines recommended for certain age groups, may not be covered depending on where you live. Ask your health care provider to learn more about your flu shot eligibility and whether you should receive a COVID-19 booster dose.
