Haldimand County Paramedic Services Offering Community Flu Shot Clinics
**Please note that flu shot appointments are fully booked. At this time, wait lists will not be offered.**
Haldimand County Paramedic Services will be offering six community flu shot clinics throughout November and December 2020. Flu shots will be offered by appointment only to individuals over the age of 16. Appointments may be booked using the County’s online registration system at link.haldimandcounty.ca. Due to the limited number of appointments, flu shots will be offered to Haldimand County residents only. High dose vaccinations (65+) will not be offered at these clinics.
According to the Public Health Agency of Canada, getting a flu vaccine this year is more important than ever because:
- Flu vaccines have been shown to reduce the risk of flu illness, hospitalizations, and death.
- Getting a flu vaccine can also save healthcare resources for the care of patients with COVID-19.
Flu shot appointments will be offered from 10am to 3pm on the following dates:
- November 27 – Dunnville Arena
- December 9 – Selkirk Fire Station #13
- December 11- Cayuga Arena
- December 15 – Hagersville Legion
Instructions for individuals who book flu shot appointments:
- Please arrive 5 minutes before your appointment and wear a face covering. Leave unnecessary items in your car.
- When you arrive, you will be greeted by a Haldimand County staff member who will help you complete a COVID-19 screening assessment and flu shot consent form.
- Once you receive your shot, you will need to remain in the building for 15 minutes post-immunization.
- Immunization areas will be disinfected thoroughly after every appointment.
For COVID-19 safety reasons, a limited number of individuals will be permitted inside each flu shot location at any given time. Individuals who arrive with other family members may not be able to enter the facility together as a group. Individuals who are more than 15 minutes late or miss their appointment will be required to book a new time slot.
