Protect your health and the health of others from respiratory infections and viruses!

Vaccination is still the best way to protect against the flu, mainly for people with a chronic disease and for seniors aged 75 and over. These people have a much higher risk of complications, hospitalization or death related to the influenza virus.

Remember that simple hygiene measures, such as hand-washing, are a good way to protect yourself against the flu and other respiratory viruses.

  • People living in long-term care homes (CHSLDs) or private seniors’ residences, or other congregate living settings with a high proportion of elderly and vulnerable people;
