Ontario seniors and their families are encouraged to stay up to date with free flu, COVID-19, and RSV vaccines available now at pharmacies, public health units, and health-care providers. Up-to-date immunizations will help protect against respiratory illnesses.

Key reminders for older adults and caregivers: 

  • Flu and COVID-19 vaccines are recommended for everyone six months and older 
  • RSV vaccines are free for adults 75+ and high-risk adults 60+, including long-term care and retirement home residents. 
  • Vaccination helps prevent serious illness and hospitalizations, protecting both seniors and those who care for them. 

Families are encouraged to speak with their health-care provider or local public health unit to ensure loved ones are fully protected this season.
