										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>La version française suit</em></p>
<p>Ottawa Public Health (OPH) is recommending that residents aged 6 months and older get their annual flu vaccine as soon as possible this flu season. OPH is anticipating an active respiratory illness season with influenza (flu), COVID-19 and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) circulating in the community at the same time. The flu can cause serious illness and can result in complications and hospitalizations, especially for older adults and young children. Getting an annual flu vaccine is the best way to protect yourself from the flu.</p>
<p><strong>Starting October 15, 2024:</strong> Participating local pharmacies will begin to offer flu vaccines to <a class="ext" href="https://www.ontario.ca/page/flu-facts#section-3" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-extlink="">individuals at high risk </a>of flu-related complications. These individuals include:</p>
<ul>
<li><a class="ext" href="https://www.ontario.ca/page/kids-and-flu-shot" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-extlink="">Children under 5 years of age,</a> because their immune systems are developing, and their airways are small and more easily blocked;</li>
<li>Adults 65 years old and older, because their immune systems can be weaker, and they are more likely to have an underlying condition that increases their risk.</li>
<li>Residents, staff and care providers of congregate living settings (such as chronic care facilities, retirement homes).</li>
<li>Pregnant individuals, because their immune system, heart and lungs change – especially later in pregnancy – making them more likely to get seriously ill from the flu.</li>
<li>People with underlying health conditions, such as asthma, heart disease or diabetes.</li>
<li>Members of First Nations, Inuit or Métis communities.</li>
<li>Members of racialized and other equity deserving communities.</li>
<li>First responders and health care workers.</li>
<li>Individuals with significant exposure to birds or mammals, such as poultry, livestock, slaughterhouse and processing plant workers, wildlife officers/researchers, and veterinarians.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Starting October 21,</strong><strong> 2024:</strong> <a class="ext" href="https://www.ottawapublichealth.ca/en/public-health-topics/influenza-flu.aspx?utm_source=OPH&amp;utm_medium=Friendly_URL&amp;utm_campaign=Flu" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-extlink="">OPH Community Clinics</a> and <a class="ext" href="https://www.ottawapublichealth.ca/en/public-health-topics/neighbourhood-health-and-wellness-hubs.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-extlink="">Neighbourhood Health and Wellness Hubs</a> will offer the flu vaccine for eligible <a class="ext" href="https://www.ontario.ca/page/flu-facts#section-3" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-extlink="">high risk and priority populations</a> who face barriers to access, including:</p>
<ul>
<li>Children aged 6 months to under 2 years and their household members (note: children 2 and older are directed to pharmacies for their annual flu vaccine).</li>
<li><a class="ext" href="https://www.ontario.ca/page/flu-facts#section-3" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-extlink="">High-risk individuals</a> facing significant barriers to access, such as newcomers without OHIP and children 2 to 5 years of age who have tried to access the vaccine through another provider.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Starting October 28, 2024:</strong> all individuals 6 months of age and older who live, work, or go to school in Ontario are eligible for the flu vaccine through local pharmacies and healthcare providers.  Updated COVID-19 vaccines will also be available for everyone.</p>
<p><strong>There are many options for getting your annual flu vaccine</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Pharmacies continue to be the main point of access for annual flu vaccines, including in rural areas to <a class="ext" href="https://www.ontario.ca/page/flu-facts#section-3" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-extlink="">eligible individuals</a> in Ottawa. Contact your <a class="ext" href="https://www.google.com/maps?q=Pharmacy&amp;hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-extlink="">nearest pharmacy</a> today. Please note that pharmacies cannot vaccinate children under 2.</li>
<li>Check with your regular health care provider to see if they offer flu vaccines.</li>
<li>OPH Community Clinics and Neighbourhood Health and Wellness Hubs will offer flu vaccines to eligible individuals <a class="ext" href="https://www.ottawapublichealth.ca/en/public-health-topics/influenza-flu.aspx?utm_source=OPH&amp;utm_medium=Friendly_URL&amp;utm_campaign=Flu" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-extlink="">by appointment</a> (for our clinics) and on a drop-in basis (for our hubs). Learn more and book an appointment at <a class="ext" href="https://www.ottawapublichealth.ca/en/public-health-topics/influenza-flu.aspx?utm_source=OPH&amp;utm_medium=Friendly_URL&amp;utm_campaign=Flu" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-extlink="">OttawaPublicHealth.ca/Flu  </a></li>
</ul>
<p class="paragraph"><strong>Increase your protection this season by getting both your flu and updated COVID-19 vaccine at the same time</strong></p>
<p class="paragraph">Flu vaccines may be given at the same time as, or at any time before or after administration of other vaccines, including the updated COVID-19 vaccine, for people aged 6 months of age and older. Speak with your health care provider or pharmacist to learn more about co-administration. Updated <a href="https://ottawa.ca/en/city-hall/city-news/newsroom/ottawa-public-health-recommends-updated-covid-19-vaccine-fall">COVID-19 vaccines are currently available in Ottawa</a> to individuals at highest risk.

<hr />
<h3 class="paragraph">Protégez-vous en: faites-vous vacciner contre la grippe!</h3>
<p>Santé publique Ottawa (SPO) recommande que les résidents âgés de 6 mois et plus se fassent vacciner contre la grippe dès que possible cette saison. SPO prévoit une saison active en matière de maladies respiratoires, avec la grippe, la COVID-19 et le virus respiratoire syncytial (VRS) circulant simultanément dans la communauté. La grippe peut provoquer des maladies graves et entraîner des complications et des hospitalisations, en particulier chez les personnes plus âgées et les jeunes enfants. Se faire vacciner annuellement est le meilleur moyen de se protéger contre la grippe.</p>
<p><strong>À partir du 15 octobre 2024 :</strong> Les pharmacies locales participantes commenceront à offrir des vaccins contre la grippe aux <a class="ext" href="https://www.ontario.ca/fr/page/renseignements-sur-la-grippe" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-extlink="">personnes présentant un risque élevé</a> de complications liées à la grippe. Ces personnes sont notamment :</p>
<ul>
<li>les <a class="ext" href="https://www.ontario.ca/fr/page/les-enfants-et-le-vaccin-contre-la-grippe#section-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-extlink="">enfants de moins de 5 ans</a>, parce que leur système immunitaire est en train de se développer et que leurs voies respiratoires sont petites et plus facilement obstruées.</li>
<li>les personnes de 65 ans et plus, parce que leur système immunitaire peut être plus faible et qu’elles sont plus susceptibles d’avoir une affection sous-jacente qui augmente leur risque.</li>
<li>les résidents, le personnel et les fournisseurs de soins des milieux de vie collectifs (comme les établissements de soins pour malades chroniques, les maisons de retraite).</li>
<li>les personnes enceintes, car leur système immunitaire, leur cœur et leurs poumons se modifient, surtout en fin de grossesse, ce qui les rend plus susceptibles de tomber gravement malades à cause de la grippe.</li>
<li>les personnes qui ont des problèmes de santé sous-jacents, comme l’asthme, une maladie cardiaque ou le diabète.</li>
<li><span lang="FR" xml:lang="FR">les membre des Premières Nations, et des communautés métisses et inuites</span>.</li>
<li>les membres des communautés racisées et d’autres groupes en quête d’équité.</li>
<li>les premiers répondants et les travailleurs de la santé.</li>
<li>les personnes fortement exposées aux oiseaux ou aux mammifères, comme les personnes qui travaillent dans des élevages de volaille, de bétail ou des abattoirs et des usines de transformation, les agents de conservation de la faune ou les chercheurs et les vétérinaires.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>À partir du 21 octobre 2024 :</strong> Les <a class="ext" href="https://www.santepubliqueottawa.ca/fr/public-health-topics/influenza-flu.aspx?utm_source=OPH&amp;utm_medium=Friendly_URL&amp;utm_campaign=Flu" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-extlink="">cliniques communautaires de SPO</a> et les <a class="ext" href="https://www.santepubliqueottawa.ca/fr/public-health-topics/neighbourhood-health-and-wellness-hubs.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-extlink="">centres de santé et de bien‑être de quartier</a> offriront une vaccination contre la grippe aux <a class="ext" href="https://www.ontario.ca/fr/page/renseignements-sur-la-grippe" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-extlink="">populations prioritaires et à risque élevé</a> qui rencontrent des obstacles en matière d’accès à la vaccination, comme :</p>
<ul>
<li>les enfants entre 6 mois et 2 ans et les membres de leur foyer (remarque : les enfants de 2 ans et plus sont dirigés vers les pharmacies pour leur vaccin annuel contre la grippe).</li>
<li>les <a class="ext" href="https://www.ontario.ca/fr/page/renseignements-sur-la-grippe#section-3" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-extlink="">personnes à risque élevé</a> confrontées à d’importants obstacles en matière d’accès à la vaccination, comme les nouveaux arrivants qui ne bénéficient pas de l’Assurance-santé de l’Ontario (OHIP) et les enfants âgés de 2 à 5 ans qui ont essayé d’obtenir le vaccin par l’intermédiaire d’un autre fournisseur de soins de santé.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>À partir du 28 octobre 2024</strong> <strong>:</strong> Toutes les personnes âgées de 6 mois et plus qui vivent, travaillent ou vont à l’école en Ontario peuvent se faire vacciner contre la grippe dans les pharmacies locales et auprès des fournisseurs de soins de santé. Les vaccins mis à jour contre la COVID-19 seront également à la disposition de tous.</p>
<p><strong>Plusieurs options sont offertes pour obtenir le vaccin annuel contre la grippe.</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Les pharmacies demeurent le principal point d’accès à la vaccination annuelle contre la grippe, notamment dans les zones rurales pour les <a class="ext" href="https://www.ontario.ca/fr/page/renseignements-sur-la-grippe" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-extlink="">personnes admissibles</a> à Ottawa. Communiquez dès aujourd’hui avec la <a class="ext" href="https://www.google.com/maps?q=Pharmacy&amp;hl=fr" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-extlink="">pharmacie la plus p </a><u>roche</u> de chez vous. Veuillez noter que les pharmacies ne peuvent pas vacciner les enfants de moins de 2 ans.</li>
<li>Vérifiez auprès de votre fournisseur de soins de santé habituel s’il offre le vaccin contre la grippe.</li>
<li>Les cliniques communautaires de SPO et les centres de santé et de bien-être de quartier offriront des vaccins contre la grippe aux personnes admissibles, <a class="ext" href="https://www.santepubliqueottawa.ca/fr/public-health-topics/influenza-flu.aspx?utm_source=OPH&amp;utm_medium=Friendly_URL&amp;utm_campaign=Flu" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-extlink="">sur rendez-vous</a> (pour nos cliniques) et sans rendez-vous (pour nos centres de quartier).

</ul>
<p class="paragraph"><strong>Cette saison, protégez-vous davantage en vous faisant vacciner contre la grippe et la COVID-19 en même temps</strong></p>
<p class="paragraph">Les vaccins contre la grippe peuvent être administrés en même temps que d’autres vaccins, ou à tout moment avant ou après l’administration d’autres vaccins, y compris le vaccin mis à jour contre la COVID‑19, pour les personnes âgées de 6 mois et plus. Pour en savoir plus sur l’administration simultanée de vaccins, communiquez avec votre fournisseur de soins de santé ou votre pharmacien.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>La version française suit</em></p>
<p>Starting October 25 at 10 am, appointment booking will be open for flu vaccinations at Ottawa Public Health (OPH) community vaccine clinics for parents with children aged six months to two years old and their immediate families and for people experiencing barriers to getting the flu vaccine.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Starting in November, residents will also be able to receive their flu vaccine through their family doctor or local participating pharmacy. Ottawa Public Health is using a targeted approach for this season’s community flu vaccine clinics to accommodate the anticipated COVID-19 vaccination program for children aged five to 11 and the expansion of third doses of the COVID-19 vaccine for some individuals.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>New this flu season, individuals<strong> two years of age and older </strong>can visit <a href="https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ottawapublichealth.ca%2Fen%2Fpublic-health-topics%2Finfluenza-flu.aspx%23pharmacies&amp;data=04%7C01%7CGlen.Gower%40ottawa.ca%7C1d90ac9bdcc94c0baf1e08d9955d1cf3%7Cdfcc033ddf874c6ea1b88eaa73f1b72e%7C0%7C0%7C637705049602273761%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&amp;sdata=%2Fssj%2BQZ9b6PPlc%2B811d8ORjn5AH5XMFSo2rmZR3BFHw%3D&amp;reserved=0">participating pharmacies</a> to receive their flu vaccine. Individuals aged six months and older may also receive their flu vaccine from their family doctor or nurse practitioner. Anyone aged six months and older who lives, works or attends school in Ontario is eligible to receive the publicly funded flu vaccine at no cost.</p>

<ul>
<li>Children aged six months to two years and their household members</li>
<li>Individuals experiencing barriers to getting the flu vaccine which include:
<ul>
<li>Being a newcomer to Canada</li>
<li>Having no Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) card</li>
<li>Having no primary care provider, such as a doctor or nurse, and those who have had difficulty accessing the vaccine at a pharmacy</li>

It is spread through droplets that have been coughed or sneezed by someone who has the flu. You can get the flu by shaking hands with someone who has the flu or by touching surfaces that have come into contact with flu droplets, and then touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Flu symptoms include a sudden fever as well as a cough and/or a sore throat, a runny or stuffy nose, headache or body aches, and chills. You may feel more tired than usual and have a lower appetite. Most people will recover within a week to 10 days, but some people are at greater risk of severe complications, such as pneumonia or death. Influenza infection can also worsen certain chronic conditions, such as heart disease.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Getting your annual flu vaccine is an important way to help protect yourself, your family and high-risk individuals in your community against seasonal flu. We can help reduce flu transmission in the community and keep our hospitals from being overwhelmed while COVID-19 continues to be present.</p>

Elle se transmet par les gouttelettes projetées quand une personne atteinte tousse ou éternue. Vous pouvez l’attraper en serrant la main d’une personne atteinte, ou encore en portant vos mains à vos yeux, à votre nez ou à votre bouche après avoir touché une surface contaminée. Les symptômes de la grippe sont, notamment, une poussée de fièvre, de la toux ou un mal de gorge, un écoulement nasal ou une congestion nasale, de la migraine, des courbatures et des frissons. La grippe peut également s’accompagner d’une sensation de fatigue et d’une perte d’appétit. La plupart des malades se rétablissent en l’espace de sept à 10 jours, mais les personnes appartenant à certains groupes sont plus susceptibles d’avoir des complications importantes, comme une pneumonie ou la mort. La grippe peut aussi exacerber certaines affections chroniques, dont les cardiopathies.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>La vaccination annuelle contre la grippe est un moyen important de vous protéger, ainsi que votre famille et les personnes à risque de votre communauté, contre la grippe saisonnière. Nous pouvons ainsi contribuer à réduire la transmission de la grippe dans la population et empêcher nos hôpitaux d’être débordés pendant que la COVID‑19 circule encore.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>(PHOTO: Councillor Glen gets his flu shot with help from Avish Shah, pharmacist and owner at Whole Health Pharmacy on Stittsville Main Street.)</em></p>
<p>People who live, work or attend school in Ottawa can now get their flu vaccine at their health care providers’ office, family doctor, or participating pharmacies.</p>
<p>Getting the flu vaccine is good for everyone. When more people get their flu vaccine, the odds of the flu virus spreading goes down. This protects those who are most vulnerable such as children under 5, adults 65 years or older, pregnant women, as well as those living with chronic health conditions like diabetes, cancer and HIV/AIDS.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p><strong>Ottawa Public Health</strong> will be offering 10 community clinics in different areas of the city from November 2-20, 2019. Clinics are scheduled in areas where there are many young families, older adults and where there are fewer pharmacies offering the vaccine.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  In Stittsville, there&#8217;s a flu clinic scheduled for <strong>Monday, November 18</strong> from 3:30pm-7:30pm at Sacred Heart Catholic High School (5870 Abbott Street).</span></p>
<p>For more information about the flu shot, including a list of all the flu clinics this fall and a list of participating pharmacies, visit <a href="http://www.ottawapublichealth.ca/en/public-health-topics/flu-clinics.aspx">ottawapublichealth.ca</a>.</p>
