Three new weekly flu watch reports are now out and

Three new weekly flu watch reports are now out and it's great to see how much activity has decreased.

BUT. Flu season isn't over. Current levels are similar to the height of the 2016-17 H3N2 season, and we should expect a spring B wave. Get your flu shot now.

Two little boys are smiling back at me from this day eight years ago in my memories.

Thomas (right) is in grade 3 and loves reading, video games, and running everywhere. He's turning 9 on the 16th.

Jude died a few months after their 2nd birthday from flu B.

We begin another year without Jude, in the middle

We begin another year without Jude, in the middle of a rough flu season. We'd give anything to have him back.

If you get your flu shot now you can develop immunity by Jan 16th, helping to protect your family and everyone around you. Please go.

While the flu shot is not a guarantee, it significantly reduces your chance of infection and serious outcomes, and helps prevent further spread to others. As individuals, this is a quick, simple step we can take to protect each other and our hospitals.

I miss you. 🦁

These last few years have been a stark reminder of how much our health and well-being depend on each other. There's a lot of work to do ahead within our systems. There are things we all can and should do as we're able to help protect each other.

Six years ago today I waited outside the Toronto S

Six years ago today I waited outside the Toronto Star building with a two-year-old in an elephant hat and a big ask. The Prime Minister took the time to hear me out and, six years later, he’s had and shared his flu shot six times and encouraged Canadians to do the same.

I knew @justinpjtrudeau could reach millions of people I never could, and I can’t count how many people have told me they learned about Jude because they found us through his posts. And how many people have told us that it was Jude’s story that drove home how important it is to take steps to protect themselves and others.

There are a lot of people who have helped and supported every step of the way. Thank you, everyone who has listened, everyone who has jumped in, everyone who remembers Jude was here and still speaks his name. It’s everything, and all you’re doing can save lives. Thank you.

We don’t stop because we can’t. Let’s keep working to prevent empty chairs.

The flu shot is now widely available in Ontario. B

The flu shot is now widely available in Ontario. Because of the flu, today I’m having another birthday without my son. I could think of no better way to mark the day than by doing what I can to protect someone else from being in our shoes.

It was quick and easy, and while it isn’t a guarantee, in two weeks it will significantly reduce my chances of infection, severe outcomes if I do get sick, or passing it on to others. I’d give anything to have Jude back. This is a simple step that could save someone’s life.

It’s normal and okay to have questions about your health. Check out our website for more about flu prevention, but always speak with your doctor for more information about vaccines.

We can’t prevent every case or every death, but we can do better, and help prevent stress on our hospitals. Jude deserved better. We’ve lost a lifetime with him in our home and our lives. Let’s take care of each other.
