Those who live or work with people who are high risk (i.e. health care workers and essential community services staff) should also get the vaccine.
Toronto Public Health is reassuring the public that the flu vaccine is safe and effective and is still the best defence against getting the flu.

The flu vaccine is safe. The vaccine cannot give you the flu. Learn more about Influenza and the Influenza Vaccine.
Get the flu shot at Toronto Public Health's Community Flu Clinics, doctors' offices, walk-in medical clinics and some pharmacies.
