What is an Influenza Vaccine 

The influenza vaccine, also known as the flu shot, is a vaccine that helps protect against the flu.

Influenza vaccine is made from inactivated flu viruses and is formulated each year to protect against the most common strains of the virus that are expected to circulate.

Who Should Take an Influenza Vaccine 

We recommend that everyone 6 months of age and older get a flu vaccine each year. Certain groups are at higher risk of developing serious complications from the flu and are especially encouraged to get vaccinated, including:

  • Frequent travellers
  • Children aged 6 months to 5 years
  • Caretakers/Parents of young children
  • Adults aged 65 years and older
  • Pregnant women
  • People with certain medical conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes, and lung disease
  • Health care workers

Getting the influenza vaccine is an important step in protecting not only yourself, but also those around you, especially people at high risk of serious complications from the flu.
