It's not too late to get your influenza shot!

It's still winter out there across Alberta and along with it, it's still influenza season too! Influenza viruses are expected to continue to circulate in Alberta's communities and have the potential to spread influenza illness.

Alberta Health Services continues to offer influenza immunization to Albertans, to protect them from serious illness from influenza.

It's not too late to be immunized! Alberta is only partway through its normal influenza season and an immunization will still protect you and your family from serious influenza-related illness.

Want to help your family avoid getting sick?

An influenza immunization is safe and will help keep you healthy.
