Seasonal-Flu Vaccination

Vaccination is free for people at higher risk of developing complications either due to their age or health:

• Children age 6 to 23 months
• People with certain chronic diseases, such as heart, lung or kidney disease, diabetes, major obesity, cancer, asthma or a weakened immune system (also applies to pregnant women, regardless of the stage of pregnancy);
• Pregnant women in good health who are in their 2nd or 3rd trimester;
• People age 60 or older;

Close contacts of groups of people at risk or of children under six months old, health-care workers, and pregnant women in their 2nd or 3rd trimester can also receive the vaccine at no charge. This year again, it is also free for people who live in remote or isolated areas.

Anyone else who wants protection against the seasonal flu can be vaccinated at their own expense.
