Provincial Medical Officer of Health Dr. Eilish Cleary says a new vaccine must be given each year since the seasonal flu vaccine is adjusted to reflect changes in the viruses that are circulating.
Kids between 6 months and 18 years old, seniors 65 and up and pregnant women can get the flu shot from either the Victorian Order of Nurses, their family doctor or a nurse practitioner.
Cleary adds the flu vaccine is strongly recommended for health care workers who are at risk of spreading the virus to high-risk populations.
