Why Get That Flu Shot-again?

November 22, 2012

As my first foray into the world of blog as the Manager for Health Services, I thought it would be appropriate to address the annual question of why we need a flu shot every year.

I found a short video (Influenza Get the (Antigenic) Drift) on what happens to a flu season type virus and why it is important to get the flu shot every year.

RRC Polytech campuses are located on the lands of Anishinaabe, Ininiwak, Anishininew, Dakota, and Dené, and the National Homeland of the Red River Métis.

We recognize and honour Treaty 3 Territory Shoal Lake 40 First Nation, the source of Winnipeg’s clean drinking water. In addition, we acknowledge Treaty Territories which provide us with access to electricity we use in both our personal and professional lives.
