To protect those most at risk from influenza this fall and winter, Saskatchewan will provide seasonal flu shots to people aged 65 and over and residents of long-term care homes in October, followed by the H1N1 flu vaccination program for all residents of the province.
Based on the best current information, seasonal flu vaccine may be made available to the rest of the province following the H1N1 vaccination program.
"The H1N1 flu virus is likely to be the main flu strain in circulation this fall in Saskatchewan," Chief Medical Health Officer Dr. Moira McKinnon said. "Seniors are at less risk of H1N1 infection, but are most vulnerable to complications from seasonal flu. We believe this plan allows us to deliver the vaccine that people need most to stay healthy and reduce the spread of influenza."
McKinnon emphasized that national, provincial and territorial influenza responses would continue to evolve as new information arises about the pattern and impact of the H1N1 virus.
"It's important to have a flexible approach that takes advantage of the best information available to us," McKinnon said. "In the meantime, the best thing Saskatchewan residents can do is stay informed, wash their hands often, cover their coughs and sneezes with their arm, and stay home if they're sick."
