Yes. Public health recommendations are clear, everyone 6 months of age and older should be vaccinated against the flu. For some people, the benefits are so great that the government offers the vaccine free of charge. This is the case for children aged 6 to 23 months, people over 60 years of age, pregnant women (2nd and 3rd trimester) and people with lung disease, cancer, diabetes, kidney, liver or immune system damage and people who have difficulty swallowing or expelling secretions from their lungs. Note that the vaccine is also available free of charge to people in contact with loved ones who have one or more of the criteria listed above.
