If you haven't already received your flu shot, the time is now to do so.
The clinics, which began in the Sun Country Health Region on October 14, are beginning to wrap up. The SCHR Public Health team encourages everyone to get their annual influenza shot to protect themselves and to protect their loved ones. All individuals six months of age and older are eligible to receive an influenza vaccine.
Dr. Shauna Hudson, Medical Health Officer for SCHR particularly recommends the flu shot for people at high risk of influenza and influenza-related complications, including hospitalization. Dr. Hudson also recommends it for people who are in close contact with individuals at higher risk for serious disease and encourages all health care professionals to be immunized to protect themselves and their clients, patients and residents from influenza.
Weyburn will hold two more children's clinics at 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon on both November 27 and December 10 at the Weyburn Public Health Centre. For more information, you can contact (306) 842-8399.
