Community Flu Clinics - Fall 2008
The Province of Ontario is offering free flu vaccinations to all adults and children over 6 months of age. You can get your flu shot at a community clinic or schedule an appointment with your family doctor. These flu clinics are offered to you by the Oxford County Public Health and Emergency Services, Alexandra Hospital, and Community Care Access Centre Oxford in cooperation with community partners. The flu shot is 70%-90% effective in preventing flu in healthy people and the flu shot does not cause the flu. Protect yourself and your loved ones from the flu with a flu shot.
