Flu shot season has arrived.
Algoma Public Health says influenza vaccination is now being offered, recommended for everyone at least six months old - it emphasizes immunization against the flu will be important this fall due to other respiratory illnesses circulating in communities, helping protect individual, family, and community health and preventing increases in flu-related hospital visits.
It notes flu shots are available from your primary healthcare provider, participating pharmacies, and public health community clinics, with appointments now available for clinics in the Wawa area by calling 705-856-7208.
