October 5, 2023 – Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Public Health has launched its Fall 2023 respiratory vaccine clinics. Clinics will offer both flu and COVID-19 vaccines. Members of the public can receive both vaccinations in one visit. Appointments can be made by visiting wdgpublichealth.ca/appointments or by calling 1-800-265-7293 ext. 7006.
“Now that fall is upon us, we are seeing the rapid return of COVID-19, RSV and seasonal flu,” said Dr. Matthew Tenenbaum, Associate Medical Officer of Health. “Any of these viruses can pose serious health risks especially for those who are particularly vulnerable because of age or an underlying medical condition. Each of us can reduce our individual risk and protect our community by choosing to get vaccinated as soon as we are able, wearing a mask and staying home when ill. We know what works to keep us safe and well. I’m asking everyone to start making use of these tools right away.”
For more information on respiratory vaccines or to book your appointment, contact your primary care provider, pharmacist or visit wdgpublichealth.ca/flu.
