WHY GET VACCINATED?

Although, seemingly innocuous, the flu is associated with serious complications and to numerous deaths each year.

The flu often includes stronger symptoms: extreme fatigue and weakness, fever and shivering, pain and muscle soreness, and general malaise. Additionally, it can lead to other complications (bronchitis, pneumonia, sinusitis, otitis, etc.), which sometimes require hospitalization. In the most serious cases, it can lead to death.

WHO MUST BE VACCINATED?

Anyone over the age of six months can be vaccinated against the flu.

However, it is particularly important to receive it if you fall within one of the following groups of patients at high risk of influenza-related complications:

children from 6 months to 17 years of age affected by certain chronic diseases
people affected by certain chronic diseases (heart or lung conditions, diabetes, kidney disorders, HIV, etc.)
pregnant women affected by certain chronic diseases, regardless of the stage of pregnancy
healthy pregnant women, in the second or third trimester
people over the age of 75
people living under the same roof as a baby under the age of six months
people living under the same roof as a person at a high risk of complications, and
healthcare workers

Under provincial programs, the flu vaccine is provided free of charge in certain vaccination centres for people at a high-risk of complications.
