Dear patients,
Windermere Plaza Medical Clinic will be running our influenza vaccination clinic again this year!
We are seeing an unprecedented number of flu cases fairly early in the season this year. This may be in part due to the relative lack of flu cases over the last few years (due to the Covid-19 pandemic) resulting in reduced immunity against influenza. It is therefore more important than ever to get your flu shot this year.
As before, these clinics will happen in the evenings and on weekends. We will schedule short, booked appointments for flu shots only, to ensure our physicians don't run behind and everyone gets seen right on time. For any other medical concerns, patients are welcome to see our walk-in physician.
You do not need to be a patient at our clinic to come in for a flu shot. All patients (over the age of 6 months) are welcome!
We look forward to seeing you at one of our clinics!
