Let's beat the flu

Everyone is at risk of getting the flu. You need to get the flu shot every year to be protected because the viruses that cause the flu change frequently.

The vaccine is free and available to people six months of age and older who live, work or attend school in Ontario.

The flu vaccine is very safe. Read the Influenza and the influenza vaccine fact sheet to learn more. The types of influenza now being seen in Toronto are a good match to the ones in this year's vaccine.

You can get the flu shot at doctors' offices, walk-in medical clinics, some pharmacies and at public health clinics. See Toronto Public Health's flu shot schedule to find out when and where a flu clinic is taking place near you.
