2024-25 Flu Shot Season

WHEN AND HOW

Starting in early October, FREE flu shots will be available for the most vulnerable and high priority populations including (but not limited to):

  • those in hospital and hospital staff
  • residents and staff in long-term care homes
  • those in retirement homes and other congregate settings
  • those who are 65 years and older from participating doctor/nurse practitioner offices and TBDHU clinics. 

To see the complete list of high priority populations, please visit Ontario.ca/flu.

The flu vaccine will also be available for high priority populations at participating pharmacies starting mid-October.

Starting October 28, FREE flu shots will be available to everyone 6 months and older who lives, works, or goes to school in Ontario from:

  • participating doctor and nurse practitioner offices (anyone 6 months and older)
  • participating pharmacies (anyone 2 years and older)
  • other community health care providers

FLU AND COVID-19 VACCINES AT THE SAME TIME

  • It is safe and convenient to receive both the COVID-19 and flu shots at the same time, reducing the need for multiple visits to a doctor, nurse practitioner, or local pharmacy.
  • More information on the COVID-19 vaccine will be available soon.
  • Those who are eligible and are 6 months and older should receive the most recent formulation of the COVID-19 vaccine this fall as it is expected to provide a better immune response against the current strains of COVID-19 that are circulating through the community.
