The Government says its easier than ever to get your flu shot this year – through your family doctor, nurse-led flu immunization clinics and now at participating pharmacies.

Starting this week, specially trained pharmacists can give the flu shot to Ontarians, age five and over.

·         The flu shot is offered free of charge to everyone six months of age and older who lives, works or attends school in Ontario.

·         People with the flu may be contagious even before symptoms appear and up to seven days after becoming sick.

·         It is impossible to get the flu from the flu shot.

You can find a health care provider offering the flu shot near you at Ontario.ca/flu
