With respiratory infections hitting the health system hard, Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos said Wednesday that more children need to get their COVID-19 and influenza shots to keep a lid on surging hospital admissions.

To help, Duclos said, parents should get their kids the shots they need to avoid serious illness, hospitalization and death.

“Now is the time to get vaccinated,” he said. “The fall is going to be increasingly difficult.”
