While the H1N1 flu vaccine is now available to anyone who wants it, it appears not all local hospital staff are seizing the opportunity.
The South Bruce-Grey Health Centre reports only 53 per cent of their staff have decided to get the H1N1 flu shot.
Vice President of Corporate Development Brenda Rantz says the number is about average when compared to seasonal flu vaccination rates in other years.
Last year, 56 per cent of South Bruce-Grey Health Centre Employees got the seasonal flu shot.
Grey Bruce Health Services reports almost 60 per cent of its staff have been vaccinated with the H1N1 flu shot.
Starting tomorrow — you will be able to get both the H1N1 flu vaccine and the seasonal flu shot.
There are many clinics taking place this week that will offer both vaccines.
The Grey Bruce Health Unit is offering H1N1 and seasonal flu vaccines at the Davidson Centre in Kincardine tomorrow from 3 PM to 7 PM.
There is also a seasonal flu shot clinic only tomorrow and Tuesday at the Saugeen Shores medical building in Southampton from 5 PM to 7 PM.
