Canada Global(Web News)Ontarians, six months of age and older, will start getting free flu shots and shots of the new Covid-19 vaccine starting Monday.
Health Minister Sylvia Jones announced the immunization programme. He said that people should ensure that they complete their vaccinations and that of their children so that they are safe and healthy by taking such pills when respiratory diseases increase in such weather.
“By providing the Covid-19 and flu shots, our government is making sure you have all possible ways to prevent disease,” he said. Besides, the government is providing all this for free. The Ontario government also says flu shots and the new Covid-19 vaccine are available at local pharmacies, public health units and primary health care providers.
It was also said that it is safer and easier to get the CoVID-19 vaccine and the flu shot at the same time because it does not require the hassle of going back and forth. The province’s Chief Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Karen Moore, also asked Ontarians to keep their vaccinations up to date.
