West Parry Sound Health Centre says it’s fully prepared for this year’s flu season.
The hospital says over 80 percent of its staff, doctors, and volunteers have taken the flu shot.
The Health Centre says knowing the vaccination status of hospital staff is a key element to controlling the disease.
Health Centre CEO Donald Sanderson says that he’s proud of the hospital’s high compliance rate and likely makes it one of the top performing hospitals in Ontario.
The Health Centre says getting a flu shot is the best single defense against the disease but not everyone can or will get the vaccine.
