"We know that sometimes it can be challenging for families with young children to attend a drop-in clinic, so this year we're offering two appointment-only flu clinics to meet the needs of Halton's young families," said Halton Region's Medical Officer of Health Dr. Hamidah Meghani. "These new clinics will give young families more opportunities to get the vaccine as pharmacists are unable to immunize children under five. By making it easier for families with young children to receive their influenza immunizations, we're not only working towards achieving the best possible health and well-being for children, but also for the entire community."
