M.P. Kurek Highlights Flu Vaccines

Battle River—Crowfoot Member of Parliament Damien C. Kurek received his annual flu shot on Friday in Consort, and in an effort to promote vaccine awareness released the following statement.

“Each year, I choose to get my flu shot to help protect me and the people around me from influenza. While vaccines are not, nor should they be, mandatory, they are an amazing piece of medical innovation.”

During flu season, people are reminded to take precautionary steps to help reduce the risk of getting the flu. Getting vaccinated, washing your hands frequently, and staying home when you are sick are some of the best measures you can take to prevent illness. Kurek received his vaccination at his local pharmacy, and Alberta Health Services provides clinics all over the province.
