Health expert “Residents don’t know how serious it is”.
Despite health experts shouting the importance of flu vaccination, the number of Toronto flu patients has exploded.
The Toronto City Department of Health announced that the number of flu patients confirmed between the 6th and 12th of this month was 484, about 54 times the average number of infections (nine) during the same period from 2014 to 19.
Health experts believe that while the number of patients with corona and respiratory diseases continues to occur, the number of flu patients has also increased significantly and has already entered a triple demic.
Experts strongly recommended that flu vaccination be hurried, saying, “Many residents have completed the corona vaccine, but are not properly aware of the dangers of the flu.”
According to experts, 83% of the people across the country have received at least one dose of the corona vaccine.
Influenza vaccines can be inoculated after making a reservation through a clinic run by the City of Toronto or a local pharmacy.
For flu vaccine clinic information, visit the official Toronto website (www.toronto.ca) and enter ‘free flu vaccination’ in the search box at the top.
Meanwhile, around 3,500 people die each year from the flu in the country.
