The flu virus is always changing, so getting an annual dose keeps your immunity strong! The ministry especially wants to remind older adults to get vaccinated to protect themselves from severe infections and complications. Certain groups are more at risk when it comes to the flu, which include people with chronic illnesses, those over 50, kids between 6 months and 5 years, pregnant women, and anyone with severe obesity or taking immune-weakening medications.
