Did you know the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) is reporting an early and intense start to flu season leading to unprecedented volumes in the Emergency Department and a higher-than-usual number of flu cases and complications for this time of year?

Ottawa Public Health is urging everyone six months and older to get their flu vaccine as soon as possible. Vaccination remains a key tool for protection against influenza, including severe outcomes and is especially important this season for children due to the rise in severe illness.

Registered clients of the Primary Care Clinic may call and book an appointment with our nurses to receive their annual flu shot.
