The city has stated that because there is limited vaccine availability to the public sector, certain groups of people will take priority over others.
MMC for Community Services and Health, Francine Higham said citizens who are sick should stay at home to protect others from getting sick.
“Getting vaccinated is a responsible choice that not only protects you but also helps safeguard your loved ones and the broader community. The flu season is upon us, so please act now to reduce your risk. We also remind the public to keep good hygiene habits top of mind, particularly regular handwashing, and coughing etiquette, which advises that you cough into your elbow, instead of your hand,” said Higham.
