Good afternoon everyone,

Just wanted to remind you that we are having another flu shot clinic this Thursday, November 26 at 5:00 pm. We have both seasonal and H1N1 vaccine available. For pregnant women, we will have a supply of unadjuvanted H1N1 vaccine for you.

I expect this to be a very busy clinic, please bring your health card and register on arrival. Be prepared for a significant wait time and please remember to dress warmly. If you like, you can also bring a folding chair.

Just an update for those with small children...
For all children from 6 months to less than 3 years, a second dose is recommended
For those 3-5 years old, a second dose in only needed if your child has a chronic medical condition of if he/she is immunocompromised
Children 3-5 years old who are healthy do not need a second dose*
* - This information may change. This is the current recommendation
