“It is important to protect as many people in our communities as we can from the flu because it can potentially be deadly, especially for the elderly and the very young,” said Dr. Henning Ansorg, Public Health officer.
“The best way to protect yourself, your family, and your community against the flu is by getting vaccinated,” Dr. Ansorg said.
