We encourage you to get the flu shot every year. The vaccine helps protect your family and vulnerable people in our community. Influenza vaccination is helping to reduce the burden on the health care system during this pandemic time. Ottawa Public Health explains that the influenza vaccine will not protect you against COVID-19, but will help reduce the risk of catching the flu and COVID-19 at the same time, which could increase your risk of suffering from more serious symptoms.
