Free Flu Shot and New COVID-19 Vaccines Now Available Across Ontario
Starting today, November 4th, doses of the RSV immunization, Beyfortus, will be available for infants and high-risk children up to 24 months.
Our government’s expanded RSV immunization program will help over 200,000 families access the Beyfortus® immunization for free through their public health unit, health care provider, as well as within hospital settings for infants born during the 2024/25 respiratory illness season.
By expanding the number of children eligible under the RSV program, our government is making it easier for families to access care and protection this respiratory illness season.
Ontario’s RSV programs will play a pivotal role in protecting the babies, young children and older adults who are most susceptible to severe outcomes caused by the virus, including serious lung infections and hospitalization.
Pregnant women also have the option of receiving a single dose of Abrysvo®, to provide protection for their infant from birth to six months.
