Flu shot rollout begins this week as doctors urge vaccination for people at risk

TORONTO - Flu and COVID-19 vaccine shots are available in parts of the country this week, with doctors urging people at highest risk in particular to get vaccinated as the respiratory virus season sets in.

In Ontario, seniors, long-term care residents, hospital staff and patients will be able to get the flu shot starting this week. They can also get a COVID-19 vaccine, which doctors widely agree is safe to do at the same time.
