The vaccination campaign against flu and COVID-19 has been underway since October 7 in our territory! You can take appointment right now to enjoy the celebrations in complete peace and protect your loved ones during this festive period.
Why get vaccinated before the holidays?
Respiratory viruses, like the flu and COVID-19, spread quickly. Vaccination is your best ally to avoid complications, especially for people considered vulnerable or at risk:
- people residing in residential and long-term care centers or in private seniors’ residences or living in other collective environments with a high proportion of elderly and vulnerable people;
- people aged 60 years and over (Covid-19);
- people aged 75 years and over (flu);
- people who are immunocompromised, on dialysis or living with a chronic illness;
- pregnant women and parents of babies under six months;
- health care workers;
- adults living in remote or isolated areas.
- It should be noted that for people who wish to take this dose of vaccine, a minimum interval of six months since the last dose is recommended.
- Some groups will also be able to receive the vaccine against pneumococcal infections.
Mandatory appointment making through Click Health or by calling 1 877 817-5279. Please note that it is possible to receive the flu vaccine and the COVID-19 vaccine during the same vaccination session.
