Protecting the Thunder Bay District - Flu Vaccine

November 26, 2020 - This is an unusual flu season and demand has been much higher than in most years which has resulted in a nationwide shortage of the flu vaccine.

TBDHU is encouraging anyone 5 years of age and older to receive a flu vaccine at a pharmacy as local pharmacies in Thunder Bay and District continue to receive flu vaccine supply weekly through their wholesale distributors.
