CARP knows that with the last couple of years of COVID, our members may be experiencing vaccine fatigue.
But the fact is that COVID-19 has made the flu season more dangerous and unpredictable than ever.
It is so simple, but the best way to take control of your health, protecting both yourself and your loved ones, is to keep up to date with your vaccinations against the ‘Big 3’ preventable illnesses—flu, shingles and pneumonia.
The older we get, the more likely we are to suffer severe consequences from getting sick, including increased risk of heart attack, hospitalization and worse.
Join CARP as we all do our part to to Keep Canada Healthy!
