Stay Safe this Respiratory Season by staying up to date on vaccines!
The COVID-19 vaccine is available, at no cost, to everyone 6 months and older in Ontario. Free flu shots are available at doctor and nurse practitioner offices, participating pharmacies and some public health units. It is safe and convenient to receive both the COVID-19 and flu shots at the same time, reducing the need for multiple visits to a health care practitioner. And, families with infants up to 8 months old and children with high-risk conditions up to 24 months old, will have access to a new RSV immunization through the recently expanded publicly funded RSV prevention program.

Due to the high incidence of respiratory illness in our community, Summerville Family Health Team advises all patients and visitors to wear masks in our clinics, particularly if you have any respiratory symptoms. If you have any cold or flu-like symptoms, we will give you a mask to wear if you don’t have one.
