Ontario residents six months and older can now get free flu and COVID-19 vaccines at participating pharmacies, public health units and doctors’ and nurse practitioners’ offices. 

RSV immunization is also available for adults 75 and older, as well as certain high-risk adults aged 60 to 74, eligible infants and young children. 

Pregnant women can also receive the RSV vaccine to help protect their babies from birth.

Health officials are encouraging residents to check with their health-care provider or local public health unit to find out which vaccines they and their families are eligible to receive.
