PHSD Urges Adding Flu-Shot to "To-Do List"

Public Health Sudbury and Districts is urging everyone to add the flu shot to your "to-do list".

Noting the fourth wave of the COVID-19 pandemic - with the health unit's region currently one of the province's hot spots - PHSD's emphasizing it's "more important than ever" to get the influenza vaccine early.

It's launching its annual flu campaign today, with shots available in various ways - that information is available on its website.

Algoma Public Health launched its flu shot campaign last month, with appointments available for clinics in the Wawa area by calling 705-856-7208.

The provincial government's also encouraging everyone to get the flu shot, launching one of the largest flu immunization campaigns in Ontario history, noting last year's uptake was the highest in recent history.
