We’re sorry to share that the flu shot clinic scheduled for Thursday, October 22, 2026, has been cancelled.

Unfortunately, the ministry has not delivered the flu shots this week, and all health units in the area are affected.

We apologize, but unfortunately, it’s out of our control. We hope to rebook with a later date ASAP.

Please help us spread the word! Thank you for your understanding. 💙
