Influenza

Scheduled H1N1 and seasonal influenza clinics have been completed for 2009/2010. Anyone who has not received a flu shot and wants to be immunized should contact their primary health care provider.

We are not scheduling influenza immunization appointments except for children who require a second dose of H1N1 or seasonal influenza vaccine. Parents whose children need a second dose of vaccine should first contact their primary health care provider. If a family does not have access to a primary health care provider, appointments can be made in Brockville (613-345-5685) or Smiths Falls (613-283-2740) offices only.

Please note that we have resumed regular immunization clinics offering travel immunization. There is high demand for travel clinics, so please book early. For clinic locations and times click here.

H1N1 Wrap Up
- H1N1 pandemic influenza was the major focus for the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit from October to December 2009. With no cases being reported in the last few weeks, one might think the dangers are behind us. However, it is still important to get the seasonal flu and H1N1 shots as no one knows what to expect for the remainder of this flu season. [More]
Quitting Smoking?...What’s your Motivation?
- Every year the new start means taking on new challenges…. Why not try to stay on track with the “I am going to quit smoking this year”. New Year’s resolutions come and go. The intentions are good but something is missing. Only you can come up with the motivation and reasons to quit. [More]
