Flu Shots - starting in October 2022

The influenza vaccine is administered annually to residents and staff, starting in October. We encourage you to get the flu shot as well in order to protect those around you. Long-term care residents are more vulnerable than the general population when it comes to the flu and have more complications - including death - if they become ill.

As a reminder:

• Wash your hands with alcohol based hand sanitizer when entering and leaving The Mount.
• Get a flu shot.
• Reschedule your visit if you are unwell.
