Flu Vaccination

Our practice offers a flu vaccine. We also run flu vaccine clinics during flu season. To find out more information, please call our practice.

Influenza (the flu) is a highly contagious virus that affects the respiratory system.

The annual influenza vaccine is recommended for everyone from 6 months of age.

Vaccination is the best protection against influenza and its complications.

Based on the most recent medical advice, you can receive the influenza vaccine and COVID-19 vaccine at the same time.
