There are clinics all over the city, some of them in your Public Library. Click on the interactive map for hours and locations. If you don't want to wait in line, it may be a good idea to make an appointment. You can make your appointment online or call 416-338-7600 choosing option 3.

 

And it's a good idea to get your flu shot early since it takes about two weeks for antibodies to develop. If you cannot make any of the clinic dates or the locations are not convenient, check with your doctor's office or your local pharmacy for their schedule.

For those of you who are still on the fence, undecided whether to get the flu shot or not, here is a number to call: Toronto Public Health Immunization Information Line 416-392-1250.
