“Flu activity has started in the Peterborough region. Two facility outbreaks of the season have already been declared and community cases are expected to increase as the weather gets colder and people spend more time indoors,” says Dr. Thomas Piggott, PPH medical officer of health. “Layering on the same protections that have worked against COVID-19, such as masking with an N95/KN95 mask, staying home when sick and now receiving a flu shot are the best ways to protect yourself and your family from severe illness from the influenza virus.”

PPH is providing influenza vaccine clinics for children ages six months to two years and their household members who do not have a local primary care provider. They are held on Nov. 8, Dec. 13 and Jan. 10 from 3 p.m. - 6 p.m.

PPH is also providing a community influenza vaccine clinic at the Cavan Monaghan Community Centre on Nov. 17 from 3:30 p.m. – 7 p.m.
