"For me, getting the flu shot has always been an easy decision to make. There's no cost, the risk is negligible and the benefits are huge. I don't know why anyone would say no to getting vaccinated. It's the smart thing to do."

—Dr. Michael Corriveau
Medical Officer of Health
Renfrew County and District Health Unit
