Flu Shot Clinics

Attendance to the Northwestern Health Unit's flu shot clinics continue to be brisk.

Nearly 9-thousand doses of the H-1-N-1 vaccine have been administered to residents in the Kenora and Rainy River district since flu shot clinics began two weeks ago.

And while other parts of the province experience shortages, Director of Health Protection Arlene Lesenke says they have been able to meet the local demand.

Lesenke says even though clinics are being promoted for the H-1-N-1 vaccine, residents can get their seasonal flu shot with it as well.
