VIHA nurses will be coming over to Thetis Island on Tuesday, November 9th for our annual Flu Shot Clinic. Please drop a note to fluclinic@thetisislandfire.ca to let us know you will be attending, so the nurses will know how much serum to bring. The influenza vaccine will be available for everyone older than six months.
“This year, it’s especially important for people to get vaccinated against influenza. Last year’s low influenza rates means our immunity against influenza is lower than usual,” said Dr. Bonnie Henry, provincial health officer. “Getting your influenza vaccine this year is more important than ever to protect yourself, your community and our overstretched health-care system.”
Also, if you need a first or second Covid-19 vaccination, and you are older than twelve years, please let us know so that they will bring enough of that vaccine as well.
