Pneumonia Shot

The Annual Flu Shot Clinic on Thetis Island is taking place on November 5th from 9:30 to 10:30 at Forbes Hall. Also available this year will be the pneumococcal inoculation which is given only once.  
"The pneumococcus is a germ (a bacteria, not a virus) that can cause bacterial pneumonia and other infections such as in the bloodstream (bacteremia) and lining of the brain (meningitis). It is especially good at causing pneumonia as a complication of influenza infection. So you can understand why it is so important to be vaccinated to get protection against both influenza and the pneumococcus.

Both vaccines are very safe. - Click here to view more.
