What you need to know

Lambton Public Health continues to work with Ontario’s Ministry of Health approach for the respiratory illness season, where pharmacies and health care providers are your primary source for influenza and COVID-19 vaccines, and local health units help provide vaccine access for specific priority populations. 

Who is eligible and when? 

Starting in early October, the influenza vaccine will be available for high-risk individuals, while the general public will be eligible for the vaccine beginning Monday, Oct. 27

Where can you get the vaccine? 

Lambton Public Health offers pediatric clinics as well as mobile clinics focused on specific populations such as First Nations communities and homebound individuals. 

Pediatric clinics will begin on Thursday, Oct. 16 for children ages six (6) months of age to 18 years of age, who are at highest risk of complications from the flu. Pediatric clinics will open to all children beginning October 27. To book your child in for a vaccine with Lambton Public Health, please call 519-383-8331. 

All other residents can book their appointments through their health care provider or through a local pharmacy.
