Flu vaccination
Flu vaccines provide protection against the many possible complications of the virus. Since the availability of flu vaccines is limited, we administer them only to people who are most likely to develop complications, or to those for whom vaccination is recommended to reduce the risk of contamination. These people include:
- Children from 6 months to 17 years old who have certain chronic diseases**;
- Adults who have certain chronic diseases** (including pregnant women regardless the stage of the pregnancy);
- Pregnant women, in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters of their pregnancy;
- People aged 75 and over.
- Family members who live in the same household of a child under 6 months of age or a person at higher risk of being hospitalized and to their caregivers;
- Health care workers.
Vaccines for infants and children
Vaccines stimulate your child’s immune system to produce antibodies to defend against targeted diseases. The vaccination schedule helps to increase the effectiveness of vaccines and to determine the right time to vaccinate a child, i.e., the time when they are most at risk of contracting the disease. By opting for vaccination, you offer your child protection against certain viruses and bacteria circulating in their environment, and prevent the development of serious, contagious diseases. At LeBlanc + Savaria clinics, we offer all the vaccines recommended by public health for every age group.

Booster vaccines and new vaccines
