The most effective way to protect yourself against the flu
CISSS staff in Montérégie West reminds us that vaccination is the best way to protect against seasonal flu. The 2018-2019 campaign started on November 1st. Elderly and chronically ill people who do not get vaccinated are at higher risk of complications, hospitalization and even death if they contract the virus. It is therefore essential for these people to make an appointment.
