Influenza

Influenza has been a reportable disease in Ontario since 1923. It is a serious, acute, respiratory illness that is caused by a virus. Influenza virus types A and B are responsible for outbreaks of respiratory illness. Current control measures in Canada include vaccination and treatment with anti-virals. The Ontario Influenza Bulletin (MOHLTC) and Flu Watch (PHAC) monitor circulating strains of influenza virus, including new sub-types and antiviral resistance.

Throughout Leeds, Grenville and Lanark Counties, seasonal 'Flu Clinics' are offered during the fall and winter months. Here is a list of contact numbers in your area. Please note: before and during the flu season, dates and locations of clinics are posted.
