Protect yourself and your loved ones from the seasonal flu
The flu vaccine is safe, free and the most effective way to protect yourself and your loved ones from the flu. Getting the flu shot is an easy way to avoid missing school or work, or passing on the flu to those around you.
Ottawa Public Health also reminds Ottawa residents of these key steps to avoid the flu:
- Wash your hands with soap and water, or use hand sanitizer
- Cover your coughs and sneezes with your arm, not your hand
- Stay at home if you are sick
Vaccine strains
This year’s Canadian flu vaccine will cover three strains: the 2009 H1N1 strain, a new influenza A known as H3N2 and an influenza B component, which was included in last year’s vaccine.
Where can I get the vaccine?
Ottawa Public Health (OPH) has received its first shipment of vaccine from the province and distribution to local doctors participating in the program has begun. In the coming weeks, most residents can receive the vaccine from their family doctor, health care practitioner or at a workplace immunization clinic. Ottawa residents will also be able to get the flu shot at public clinics in neighbourhoods across the city beginning in late October.
