Stay Safe this Respiratory Season by staying up to date on vaccines!
Stay safe this respiratory illness season by staying up to date on vaccines! The updated COVID-19 vaccine is now available for high-risk and priority populations. It is strongly recommended that individuals at high risk as well as essential service workers get the new COVID vaccine. Free flu shots for the most vulnerable and high-priority populations are available at doctor and nurse practitioner offices, participating pharmacies and some public health units. And, beginning in October, families with infants up to 8 months old and children with high-risk conditions up to 24 months old, will have access to a new RSV immunization through the recently expanded publicly funded RSV prevention program.
