Huron Perth is extending the availability of Flu Shots at its COVID-19 clinics until the end of the month.
Anyone aged 5 or older who is getting a COVID-19 vaccination can also get the flu shot if they wish. HPPH is not offering the Flu vaccine on its own.
The flu is causing severe illness in children and youth this year. Combine that with RSV and the pressure is on.
Protect yourself, your loved ones and the community by using layers of protection during this “triple threat” season of COVID, RSV and influenza circulating at the same time. These layers include:
· Staying home if you are sick
· Screening for respiratory symptoms daily
· Wearing a mask in indoor public settings
· Staying up-to-date with vaccines (including COVID-19 and influenza)
· Practicing good hand hygiene
· Regularly cleaning high-touch surfaces
More information on using layers of protection can be found at www.hpph.ca/layerup.
