All Nova Scotians over six months old are highly encouraged to get a flu vaccine this year in order to protect themselves, their loved ones and our communities.

It can take up to two weeks for the vaccination to provide protection. Nova Scotians should get vaccinated in the coming weeks to see the full benefit before flu season arrives, which is usually late December to early January.

Flu symptoms often include a sudden high fever; headache, general aches and pains; fatigue and weakness; cough, nasal congestion and sore throat. People with flu symptoms should stay at home. People cannot catch the flu from receiving the influenza vaccination.

It is safe for individuals, including those age 12 and older to receive the flu vaccine before, after or even at the same time as receiving the COVID-19 vaccine.

COVID-19 vaccinations do not protect against the flu.
