Time to get your flu shot, Nunavut
George Hickes, Nunavut’s minister of health, prepares to receive his flu shot outside the legislative assembly Oct. 23. The flu vaccine is free and available at all community health centres in Nunavut, and at Iqaluit Public Health, building 1091. “In addition to getting vaccinated, Health encourages Nunavummiut to wash their hands frequently, cover their mouths when they cough, and stay home to rest when they are feeling unwell,” Hickes told the legislative assembly.

I hope GN Health Dept is letting people know you can die or get paralysed from the flu shot. The flu shot does not offer much protection and there are known side-effects, such as death and Guillain-Barre Syndrome. I had my 2009 flu shot in Gjoa Haven and two weeks later I was paralysed with Guillain Barre and in a wheelchair for 3 years.
