About Influenza

Influenza immunizations are available, free of charge, to all Albertans six months of age and older.

If you suspect you are sick with influenza, it is best that you:

  • avoid contact with other people until you have fully recovered
  • contact your family doctor or Health Link if your symptoms get worse
