Vaccines Aren’t Just for Kids: It’s important for Ottawa & Orleans to Stay Up to Date on Immunization.
When most people think of vaccines, they think of childhood. But staying up to date with adult immunizations is just as important — not only for your health but for your community.
Vaccines don’t stop at childhood. If you live in Ottawa or Orleans, it’s time to check in on your immunizations. Vaccines don’t just protect you, they stop the spread of disease. Keeping up to date on your vaccinations as you grow older not only protects you, but protects the most vulnerable in your community.

- Influenza vaccine: Recommended yearly, especially for seniors and those with chronic illnesses.
