Ottawa Public Health (OPH) Flu Immunization Online Booking System
Getting your annual flu vaccine is an important way to help protect yourself, your family and high risk groups in your community against seasonal flu. It will also help reduce the burden on Canada’s health care system during this unprecedented time. The flu vaccine will not protect against COVID-19, but it will help reduce your risk of getting the flu and COVID-19 at the same time. Having both illnesses at the same time could put you at a higher risk for severe illness.
Anyone aged six months and older who lives, works or attends school in Ontario is eligible to receive the publicly funded flu vaccine (no cost).
