Influenza Immunization Campaign
BEGINS Monday October 23, 2017!
Get Immunized Against Influenza. . .
All residents six months of age and older are encouraged to be immunized against the flu.
The flu vaccine is publicly-funded (free of charge) and is available at Prairie North's public immunization clinics throughout the health region and across Saskatchewan. You can also get your flu shot at some physician and nurse practitioner offices, as well as from participating pharmacies.
Only injectable vaccine is being offered this year through the province's publicly-funded influenza immunization program. The injectable vaccine provides protection against four different flu virus strains that are most likely to circulate in 2017-18.
