Flu immunizations are also available at more than 100 pharmacies for those five years old and older and at doctors' offices, walk-in-clinics and at some workplaces. "With the vaccine available at so many different locations throughout the community, it's Flu vaccine is best way to protect against the contagious illness: MOH easier than ever to work your flu shot into your normal routine," said Meghani. The flu is very contagious and can spread quickly and easily, according to the Public Health Agency of Canada. In Canada, an average of 12,200 hospitalizations and 3,500 deaths related to the flu occur each year. Flu viruses also change each year, which is why experts create a new vaccine to protect people against each flu season, states the Public Health Agency of Canada. "The viruses in the flu vaccine are either killed or weakened and cannot give you the flu," it stated. Most healthy people recover from the flu within a few days; however, influenza infection can lead to pneumonia and hospitalization, and could even be fatal, especially in the elderly, those under age five and those with certain chronic health conditions, Halton Region warns. People should take precautions against influenza by washing their hands with soap frequently, using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer (when soap and water is not available) and avoiding touching one's eyes, nose and mouth. If sick, people should stay home to prevent spreading the illness and see their doctor if the illness worsens or doesn't begin to improve after a few days.
