Soon the flu will be circulating with symptoms that are generally much worse than the common cold.
Officials say if people want to reduce the risk of getting sick from the flu they should get the free flu vaccine from a family doctor or a participating pharmacy.
Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Public Health is holding a flu clinic in Fergus at the Victoria Park Seniors Centre at 150 Albert Street W. on Oct. 18 from 10:30am and 5:30pm.
