Flu Shots

Anyone can catch the flu. Protect yourself and others.

Free flu shots are available to Ontarians six months of age and older.

The flu can be serious. It can lead to serious complications that can result in a hospital stay, especially among seniors and young children. Complications can include pneumonia or heart attacks. In some cases, it can result in death. Protect yourself – and others – by learning about the virus, recognizing the symptoms and getting your annual flu shot is your best defense.

Flu Season

Flu season typically runs from late fall to early spring. You should get a flu shot as soon as it is available as it takes about two weeks following immunization to develop protection. As protection wanes over time and influenza strains change frequently, it is important to get the flu shot every year.

Individuals aged five and over may receive a flu shot at the same time as, or at any time before or after a COVID-19 vaccine. Children between six months and under five years are recommended to wait 14 days before or after the administration of the COVID-19 vaccine before getting their flu shot.

Getting a Flu Vaccine

Many health care providers and pharmacies provide the flu vaccine. Children two years and older can receive a flu immunization at a local pharmacy. Contact your doctor or primary care provider to book an appointment.

If your child is under the age of five and does not have a Health Care Provider, you can book an appointment with the Health Unit through the Immunization Clinics by calling 1-866-888-4577 x 1507.
