"Bottom line is that this one has a bigger impact on kids," said Dr. Sanjay Mehta, a pediatrician at Kindercare in Toronto. At this point last flu season, a total of 11,275 cases of lab-confirmed flu had been reported. It's certainly within time to still get [the flu vaccine] now. Ontario is probably just getting into the thick of things for the flu, said Dr. Michelle Murti, a public health physician at Public Health Ontario. Especially in homes with young children, Murti recommends the flu vaccine for everyone in the household, including siblings, parents and grandparents.
