You can now get your COVID-19 XBB vaccine, and the flu shot in Perth and Huron Counties. They are available for everyone aged six months and older.
You can get your COVID-19 shot if it has been six months since your last vaccine or if you had a confirmed infection.
“We know that COVID-19 continues to circulate, and that flu has arrived in Huron Perth,” says Dr. Miriam Klassen, Medical Officer of Health for Huron Perth. “Both viruses can lead to serious illness, especially for older adults. Vaccination is the best protection and I encourage all residents aged six months and older to get their COVID and flu vaccines this fall.”
Health officials say it is safe to get both shots at the same time.
Vaccinations are available at participating pharmacies, some primary care providers, and public health unit clinics. Those clinics will be offered throughout November and appointments are necessary except for children under five.
