PHSD Urges People Get Stay Healthy This Fall & Get Vaccinated

Local health officials are urging everyone to "stay healthy this fall", getting your COVID-19 and flu shots for protection.

Public Health Sudbury and Districts says it's offering a "phased approach" for vaccination this season - aligning with Ontario Ministry of Health guidelines - available first for "high-risk" individuals, defined as hospitalized individuals and hospital staff, long-term care home and Elder Care Lodge residents, staff, and caregivers, and those at high-risk of COVID-related complications or hospitalization.

The health unit will roll out vaccinations for the general public later this month.
