Ministry of Health Issuing Free Flu Vaccines at Health Centres Across the Country

The annual flu season is upon us once again and the Ministry of Health has issued a reminder that vaccines are presently available free of cost at health centres across the country.  Specific at-risk groups are particularly encouraged to get their vaccines, those include newborns between the ages of six and twenty-three months, pregnant women, as well as adults sixty-five years and older.  The inoculation prevents the influenza virus, likewise the severity of the illness if contracted.  Side effects of the vaccination may include a slight fever, muscle pain or soreness where the injection is administered.
