The Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit wants you to be flu free this winter.
H.K.P.R. is reminding people in the county to get the flu shot from their physician, a pharmacy or at the health unit office.
Manager of Communicable Disease Control, Epidemiology and Evaluation Marianna Rock says even if you get sick following the flu shot, the symptoms are usually milder than if you don’t get it.
If you do not have a family doctor, there are pharmacies that will give you the shot free of charge.
