Get the flu shot - clinic locations

17 Nov 2008

SIMCOE MUSKOKA – Why bother getting the flu shot when it’s just a cold and everyone gets a cold? Don’t kid yourself: the flu is much worse than a cold. It causes high fever, muscle soreness, severe weakness and takes more than a week to recover from. It can lead to complications like pneumonia that can put a person in hospital. Immunization is the best protection against the flu – for you and your family.
