Find a flu shot clinic

Flu season generally runs from October to April. Every person 6 months and older can get a flu shot. Help protect yourself and your family from getting the flu.
 
In the Yukon we offer 3 different types of flu vaccines.
  • FluMist is available to 2 to 17 year olds (nasal spray).
  • Fluzone is available to anyone over 6 months.
  • Fluzone High Dose is available to those 65 years of age and older.

Children under 9 years of age who have never had a seasonal influenza vaccine need 2 doses. The second dose raises their level of protection. It should be given 4 weeks after the first dose.

Get your COVID-19 vaccine at the same time

For people 12 and older, you can get your flu shot at the same time as your COVID-19 vaccine.

For children aged 6 months to under 5 years old it’s recommended to have 14 days between receiving any vaccines and the COVID-19 vaccine. If your child has not yet received their flu shot, you might want to delay their flu shot to a later date so they can receive their COVID-19 vaccine at the earliest opportunity.

Is it free?

The flu shot is free for Yukon residents.

What to expect

With the COVID-19 pandemic, flu clinics will look different. Here's what to expect when you arrive at flu clinics across the Yukon:

  • the possibility of longer wait times;
  • screening for illness or exposure to COVID-19;
  • physical distancing requirements;
  • increased environmental cleaning;
  • use of hand sanitizer provided at entry;
  • standard post vaccine wait times will still be followed to keep you safe; and
  • extended clinical hours to accommodate an increase in demand.

No other immunizations will be given at this year’s Whitehorse flu clinic except for the COVID-19 vaccine. Anyone born in 2010 or earlier can receive the COVID-19 vaccine at the same time as the flu shot. This only applies to Whitehorse flu clinics at the Coast High Country Inn Convention Centre.

How to prepare for this year’s flu clinic

Some tips to help prepare you for this year’s flu clinics:

  • Dress warmly with layers that are appropriate for the weather ‒ there may be extended wait times before you're allowed in the clinic.
  • Come prepared with your health care card ready.
  • Be prepared to answer COVID-19 screening questions.
  • Wear clothing that allows easy access to your arm such as a T-shirt or tank top.
  • Wearing a non-medical mask is recommended but is not mandatory.

Remember to always:

  • practice the Safe 6;
  • practice respiratory etiquette and proper hand-washing;
  • follow signs; and
  • respect staff and volunteers.

Stay home if you feel sick

Do not come to the flu clinic if you feel sick. You'll have a chance to get the flu vaccine at another time.
