The respiratory virus vaccination campaign is set to begin on October 16, 2024. 

The campaign is aimed at offering the flu vaccine and the COVID-19 vaccine, free of charge, to the entire population. 

Vaccination is recommended for anyone at risk of developing complications if they contract these viruses and infections.

The 2024-2025 vaccination campaign against respiratory viruses is important for the following individuals:

  • People aged 60 years and over;
  • People living in long-term care centres (CHSLDs and private seniors’ residences) or other congregate living settings with a high proportion of elderly and vulnerable people;
  • People who are immunocompromised or on dialysis;

  • Pregnant women;
  • People living in the same household or caregivers of the above-mentioned groups;
  • People living in remote or isolated areas;
