Flu shots are now arriving.  Every two weeks, Toronto Public Health provides us with a limited supply of regular (QIV) and high dose (HD) flu vaccines.  With each delivery, flu clinics will be organized for which you may book your flu shot appointment.   As usual, we are giving priority to those identified as high risk for the flu.  Below is a list of high-risk criteria and our flu shot clinic schedule.
