The Ontario government urges residents to stay safe during the upcoming respiratory illness season by getting vaccinated for flu, COVID-19, and RSV. Flu shots will be available starting in October, prioritizing vulnerable groups first, with the general public eligible from October 28. COVID-19 vaccines will also be available in early October, and it’s safe to get both vaccines simultaneously. Ontario is expanding its RSV prevention program, offering immunizations to high-risk children, infants, and pregnant women. The government encourages staying updated on all vaccinations, especially for children, to reduce hospital visits and protect public health.
