It is not clear whether the cases in Mexico and the United States are related. Currently, there are no cases reported in Canada. However, a few poeple who visited Mexico within the last two weeks are under investigation.

Backgrounder - Ontario's Flu Vaccine Strategy

Fri, 09/25/2009 - 13:51 — admin

Ontario will immunize people 65 years of age and older and residents of long-term care homes, with seasonal flu vaccine first. Ontario will offer the rest of the province's population the H1N1 vaccine beginning in November followed by a universal influenza immunization program with the seasonal flu vaccine in the months following. Ontario's decision to take this approach is based on scientific analysis by the province's top immunization experts suggesting that this vaccination sequence strategy will provide the greatest benefit to the population's health.
