South East Health Unit recommends all those 75 and up, those eligible, to protect themselves against RSV

The Ontario government has expanded the Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) prevention program to include all individuals aged 75 years and older, helping to protect those most vulnerable during the upcoming respiratory illness season. Older adults, particularly those with existing health conditions, are more susceptible to severe disease and have an increased risk of RSV-related hospitalization and death.

The South East Health Unit (SEHU) recommends that those who are eligible for RSV protection get vaccinated this respiratory season.

If you do not have a health-care provider, SEHU is offering RSV vaccine clinics across the region for eligible individuals. Appointments can be booked at: 

• HPE: Book Here or call 613-966-5500  
• KFL&A: Book Here  or call 613-549-1232 
• LGL: Book Here or call 1-800-660-5853 extension 2313
