Nunavut Health Minister George Hickes receives his annual flu shot on Tuesday, Oct. 20. “The flu shot is something that’s very important not just to protect ourselves but for the people that we are around or come into contact with, like, under the COVID-19 measures, wearing a mask,” he said.

The flu vaccine can help reduce the number of respiratory infections we see this fall and winter,” said Patterson. “As COVID-19 has similar symptoms to the flu, reducing your risk of getting the flu also means reducing the chance that you will be isolated, while you are tested for COVID-19.” (Photo by Dustin Patar)
