The Northwestern Health Unit is putting out a call for residents to get their flu shot this fall.
It began its flu shot clinics this week.
Director of Infectious Diseases Donna Stanley says H-1-N-1 is still cause for concern, but unlike last year, the health unit won't be administering a different shot to help combat that flu strain.
"Last year when we had H1N1, it represented a major change and a new strain," says Stanley. "That strain has now become the seasonal circulating strain. This year's vaccine, there's always three components to it and this year one of the components is H1N1.
Stanley says priorities groups this year includes those with a chronic disease, seniors and young children under five.
