2011-2012 Flu Shot Clinics:

This year the H1N1 and seasonal influenza vaccines will be combined so only a single injection will be required. Once again, it is expected that the H1N1 virus will be one of the main strains circulating during the 2011-2012 flu season so younger than usual age groups will be at higher risk. For that reason, Public Health is offering the combined H1N1/seasonal vaccination free of charge to all Nova Scotians above the age of 6 months. All Nova Scotians are encouraged to be immunized, however, the traditional high risk groups will still be a priority. These groups include:
 

• adults and children with chronic diseases (heart or lung disease, diabetes mellitus and other metabolic diseases, cancer, immunodeficiency, immunosuppression, renal disease, anemia, and hemoglobinopathy
• adults and children with any condition that can compromise respiratory function or the handling of respiratory secretions or that can increase the risk of aspiration
• children and adolescents (age 6 months to 18 years) with conditions treated for long periods with acetylsalicylic acid (e.g. rheumatoid arthritis patients)
• people of any age who are residents of long term or chronic care facilities
• all pregnant women
• all children from 6 to 23 months of age
• those 65 or older
• those who live or care for someone in the above groups
• health care workers and students in a health care profession educational program
• first responders (EHS, fire and police)
• people living in a home that is expecting a newborn during the regular influenza season
• anyone who lives with, or cares for children less than 24 months of age.

As usual, the Family Focus Medical Clinics, the Medicine in Motion Medical Centre and the Hammonds Plains Medical Clinic will be offering Flu Shot Clinics open to the public. Call at anytime to book an appointment at one of the clinics listed below.

On-site Workplace Flu Shot Clinics:

For groups larger than 25 we will arrange to come to your workplace to administer the influenza vaccine. Email us at familyfocus@ns.aliantzinc.ca for more information.
