Dr. Eileen de Villa, Toronto's medical officer of health, urges the city to take precautions as Toronto battles influenza season.
Dr. Eileen de Villa, Toronto's medical officer of health, gets vaccinated against influenza at the Metro Hall immunization clinic downtown.
Residents need to do their part to protect the health-care system and vulnerable people, including children, seniors, and those with medical conditions, she said. Her remarks came as the City of Toronto launched its 2022-2023 flu vaccination campaign. Toronto has six city-run immunization clinics that offer both the flu and COVID 19 vaccines and de Villa said it means one-stop shopping.
"I got my shots today because I both wanted to protect myself and I also wanted to make sure that I did whatever I could to encourage other people to get vaccinated," Tory said.
