The seasonal flu vaccine is once again available free of charge to all Manitobans aged six months and older.  Health, Seniors and Active Living Minister Cameron Friesen says getting the flu vaccine is important for the health of all Manitobans but especially for those at increased risk of serious illness from the flu, their caregivers and close family and friends.  She adds every Manitoban knows an infant, a senior, someone with diabetes or asthma or someone seeking treatment for cancer so she encourages all to protect themselves as well as others by getting their no charge flu immunization this fall.
