Starting this fall, Ontario seniors over the age of 75 will be eligible for a free vaccine that protects against respiratory syncytial virus.
Ontario Health Minister Sylvia Jones says the shot will be available through the publicly funded immunization program ahead of the upcoming respiratory illness season.
The program already offers RSV shots to high-risk adults aged 60 to 74, infants up to eight months old in their first RSV season, as well as high-risk children up to two years old in their second RSV season.
