Influenza (Flu) Vaccine in Ottawa
Stay Protected During Flu Season with Safe, Convenient Vaccination at Centrepointe Medical Consultants
Why is the Flu Vaccine Important?
Influenza, commonly known as the flu, is a highly contagious respiratory virus that circulates each year, especially in the fall and winter. It can cause:
- Sudden high fever
- Cough and sore throat
- Muscle aches, fatigue, and chills
- Complications such as pneumonia, bronchitis, or worsening of chronic conditions
While most people recover within a few days, influenza can be severe or even fatal, especially in:
- Young children
- Seniors
- Pregnant individuals
- People with underlying health conditions
The flu vaccine is your best protection against seasonal influenza.
Key Vaccinations and Preventive Measures
Who Should Get the Flu Vaccine?
Everyone 6 months of age and older
Annual flu vaccination is recommended for almost everyone, including:
