While the mask mandate has been lifted by the province, many health care organizations are keeping their masking requirements in order to protect their staff and their patients as long as COVID-19 continues to impact our community. Summerville Family Health Team members will continue to wear masks in our clinics and respectfully ask that patients and visitors do as well.
As the weather gets colder and people spend more time indoors, we are seeing a spike in respiratory viruses – especially in children. Starting November 1, free flu shots are available to Ontarians six months of age and older. Ontarians are strongly encouraged to get both their flu and COVID-19 shots as soon as possible. Keeping up-to-date on vaccines continues to be the best way for people to stay healthy this flu and respiratory illness season and prevent unnecessary visits to the hospital.
