Saskatchewan's publicly-funded immunization program begins Tuesday, October 14. Free immunization is available to those at increased risk of influenza-related complications including pregnant women, adults over 65 years of age, residents of long-term care facilities, children aged six months to 23 months and any resident with a chronic health condition.
"We recommend that all Saskatchewan adults receive a flu shot from their public health nurse or physician to protect themselves, their friends and families from influenza this winter, especially those individuals in high-risk groups," Health Minister Don McMorris said.
"It's been shown that the influenza vaccine is a safe and effective way to prevent getting the flu," Acting Chief Medical Health Officer Dr. Shauna Hudson said. "Frequent hand washing also reduces the spread of the disease."
It is also important that young children, especially those between 6 months and 23 months of age receive the flu shot. Dr. Hudson reports that children in this age group are more likely to be hospitalized if they get the flu than older children.
Starting October 27, local public health offices will also begin holding clinics for the general public and will have vaccine available for sale. If you are not in a high risk group and are interested in receiving a flu shot, talk to your physician or public health nurse about purchasing an influenza vaccination. Residents eligible for the free flu shots will not be reimbursed if they purchase their vaccine outside of the public program.
For information on flu clinics in your community or region, contact your local public health office, physician or regional health authority or call HealthLine at 1-877-800-0002.
