"Seniors Targeted for Free Flu Shot"
Edmonton Journal (www.edmontonjournal.com) (10/10/02) P. B3
Canada's Capital Health Authority is conducting an annual flu immunization campaign targeting senior citizens and the chronically ill by providing them with free flu shots. Capital Health's goal is to vaccinate 80 percent of senior citizens in the region by the end of November. Individuals who do not qualify for the free shots must pay about C$16 for a flu vaccination.
