Getting vaccinated is crucial for individuals at high-risk for developing flu-related complications such as newborns, young children, pregnant women, and adults with chronic medical conditions.
=0D=0A=This year, London Drugs pharmacists are also reminding healthy individuals that one of the best reasons to get the flu shot is not just to protect yourself, but to protect those who are most vulnerable. To reinforce this message, London Drugs is providing added incentive to get immunized this year. For every flu shot administered at any one of its 80 pharmacies, a lifesaving vaccine will be donated to UNICEF Canada to immunize children in a developing country against tetanus, polio or measles. London Drugs’ vaccination donation campaign is in partnership with I Boost Immunity (IBI), an online immunization advocacy network managed by the Public Health Association of British Columbia (PHABC), the BC Centre for Disease Control and funded by the BC Ministry of Health. I Boost Immunity has donated over half a million vaccines for children through UNICEF since March of 2016 through various campaigns.
