December is a time for celebrations and spending time with family and friends. To keep everyone safe and healthy, make sure you’re protected from influenza and COVID-19. Vaccination helps lower the risk of getting sick and spreading illness during the busy holiday season.
It also takes about two weeks for the vaccines to provide full protection, so getting them as soon as possible is the best way to stay healthy.
If you’ll be around people who are most at risk of serious illness, including adults over 65 years old, people with chronic health conditions and/or compromised immune systems, children under five and pregnant people, your immunization helps protect them too.
Visit 4flu.ca to find out how to get vaccinated. Vaccines are available at Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) immunization clinics, participating pharmacies, and some physician and nurse practitioner offices.
Keep your gatherings full of joy, not germs. Get your influenza and COVID-19 vaccinations and share the gift of good health!
