The Flu is here. Make protecting your community from the flu your New Year’s resolution
ISLAND WIDE – As we welcome 2018, confirmed outbreaks of Influenza A are appearing in long-term care facilities in the Nanaimo-Parksville area. Also, there are sporadic laboratory reports of people in communities throughout Vancouver Island with confirmed cases of the flu.
While the flu is often a short-term inconvenience for healthy people, it is among the leading causes of death in Canada*. If you are ill, please do not visit hospitals, residential care or assisted living facilities.
