www.oakvillebeaver.com · OAKVILLE BEAVER Wednesday, December 9, 2009 · 4 Regional flu clinics to close Dec. 15 There are still a few days left to get a flu shot before Halton Region closes its clinics on Dec. 15. The seasonal flu vaccine and the H1N1 flu vaccine are currently available at Halton Region's flu immunization clinics. Both vaccines are available for persons older than six months of age. The health department, supported by the Province's Ministry of Health, state people can get both shots at the same time if they want. The Region will shut its clinics on Dec. 15. However, it will offer five more clinics in January for children who require a second dose of either of the vaccines or for people who haven't received their shots. The vaccines are widely available at doctors' offices, according to Halton's Medical Officer of Health Dr. Bob Nosal. Flu vaccines do not contain live influenza virus and will not infect your children with the flu, the agency points out on its website www.fightflu.ca. It takes about two weeks after immunization before the flu shot gives you full protection. The Region's flu shot clinics are scheduled as follows (updates and wait times are available at www.halton.ca or by calling 311): Oakville, at Halton Regional Centre ­ Auditorium, 1151 Bronte Rd. · Thursday, Dec.10: 2 p.m. ­ 7 p.m. (seasonal and H1N1) · Saturday, Dec. 12: noon ­ 4 p.m. (seasonal and H1N1) · Tuesday, Dec. 15: 2 p.m. ­ 7 p.m. (seasonal and H1N1).
