Flu Shots Now Available for Ontarians Aged Six Months and Older

You can get a free flu shot at a doctor's office, participating pharmacies or a nurse practitioner's office.

Free flu shots are now available to Ontarians aged six months and older. 

Flu shots can be received at doctor and nurse practitioner offices and participating pharmacies. 

Health Minister Sylvia Jones says getting your flu shot early is the best way to protect yourself from getting the flu. 

"Getting your flu shot as early as you can helps keep each other and our most vulnerable loved ones healthy," said Sylvia Jones, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health. "It is safe to receive the COVID-19 vaccine and the flu shot at the same time, so if you have yet to receive your booster dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, you should get both shots now."

The province's initial supply of flu vaccines in September were prioritized for long-term care homes, hospitals, retirement homes, health care providers, seniors and high-risk individuals.
