Esquimalt Gets Proactive Protection

The Fall upper respiratory illness season has begun. Influenza and COVID19 infections are preventable – get vaccinated! Influenza as well as COVID continue to present a risk to the general population and CAF members. Vaccination is proven to reduce transmission, hospitalization, and long-lasting effects. Staying up to date on annual vaccines is important for both Influenza and COVID as protection wanes over time; the most up-to-date vaccines are targeted to the most prevalent virus strains.

Members can access either one or both vaccines, and they are safe to be given on the same day. There will be a standard monitoring period of 15 minutes after receiving the vaccine prior to the members leaving.
