COVID, flu and RSV vaccines available soon

Three seasonal vaccines will soon be available.

The Ministry of Health says they are getting ready to roll out COVID-19, flu and RSV immunizations.

The rollout will be done in phases.

The highest risk and priority groups will be eligible for the COVID-19 and RSV shots starting next week, and the flu vaccine the week after.

Those considered high risk or priority groups are:

  • Hospitalized patients
  • Hospital staff
  • Residents and staff in long-term care homes, retirement homes and other congregate settings
  • Individuals aged 65 and older

Starting on October 27, free flu and COVID shots will be available for the general public.
