Respiratory illness season is here. Are you ready? 💉

Flu, COVID-19 and RSV can cause serious illness, especially in older adults, young children and people with weakened immune systems.

Healthcare partners across Hastings and Prince Edward counties encourage residents to check their eligibility and make a plan to get vaccinated.

Vaccines are available through many local pharmacies, and home vaccination may be an option for eligible homebound residents through home services such as Quinte-Hastings Community Paramedics.

🤒 Feeling sick and need care? Knowing where to go can help you find the right care for your needs.

Read the full press release to learn more about vaccine eligibility, where to get vaccinated and how to find the right care this respiratory illness season.

🍂💙 Fall Into Self-Care! 🍁

As the leaves change and the days grow shorter, it's a good time to check in with ourselves and make our mental well-being a priority.

While autumn can bring beautiful scenery and cozy moments, seasonal changes can also affect our energy, mood, and daily routines.

Self-care doesn't have to be complicated or expensive. Sometimes, the smallest actions can make a meaningful difference.
