H1N1 Flu Shots Begin Across Canada

Clinics have opened across most of Canada to provide vaccinations for the H1N1 flu virus (human swine flu). Since it's the provinces and territories who administer the vaccination programs, the priorities for who will get the vaccine first vary depending where you are in the country. In general, health-care workers, people under the age of 65 with a chronic illness, pregnant women, children under five and people in remote communities will likely be vaccinated first.

To find out how the vaccination program is being handled in your province or territory, and to locate an H1N1 flu clinic near you, check H1N1 Flu Shot Clinics in Canada.

If you have questions or concerns about whether the H1N1 flu vaccine is appropriate for you, please ask your own doctor or a public health practitioner.
