see where the flu shot is affecting Ontario this year.

Remember that Influenza (flu) spreads easily from person to person, especially during the peak season running from late fall to early spring.

Symptoms of the flu include:

  • Fever
  • Chills
  • Cough
  • Runny Nose
  • Headache
  • Muscle Aches
  • Extreme weakness and fatigue

The flu is not the same as having a cold. The flue facts page on Ontario.ca has a symptom chart to help you identify if you have the flu or a cold.

Who is a risk?

Most cases of the flu are mild and resolve with time, but in some cases, it can have serious complications from influenza.

Get your flu shot every year

The Flu shot is different each year because the virus changes - so you need to get it every year. Available now at Square One, medical clinic in Mississauga.

Tips to avoid getting - and spreading - the flu

Wash your hands often
Even after getting the flu shot, washing with soap and water for at least 15 seconds helps keep the virus from spreading. If soap and water are not available, use a hand sanitizer (gel or wipes) with at least 60% alcohol

Cover your mouth when you couch or sneeze use a tissue and throw it out rather than putting it in your pocket, on a desk or table. if you don't have a tissue, cough into your upper sleeve

Don't touch your face - the flu virus spreads when people with the flu cough, sneeze or talk and droplets enter your body through your eyesnose or mouth

Stay at home when you're sick viruses spread more easily in group settings, such as businesses, schools and nursing homes

Clean (and disinfect) surfaces and shared items viruses can live for up to 48 hours on hard surfaces like counter tops, door handles, computer keyboards and phones
