COVID-19 and Influenza Vaccination Update

Huron Perth Public Health will not be holding COVID-19 or influenza clinics this fall for the general public. To receive the COVID-19 or influenza vaccine, contact your local pharmacy or healthcare provider.
Influenza vaccine will be arriving at pharmacies and to primary care providers in early October, at which time, individuals identified as high risk will be eligible to receive the influenza vaccine.

The general population can expect to receive influenza and COVID-19 vaccines late October.  

In November, HPPH will be holding COVID-19 clinics for children (11 years and younger). Appointments will be required and can be made online starting mid-October at www.ontario.ca/book-vaccine.

Landlords

The Smoke-Free Ontario Act prohibits smoking in common areas of multi-unit buildings, although it doesn't prohibit smoking in private homes or inside apartments and condominiums in multi-unit dwellings. 

Smoke, including second-hand smoke, can cause health issues. A smoke-free building has benefits for both the health of the tenants as well as the maintenance of the property. 

Transition to a smoke-free property 

If you are a landlord and want to make your rental property smoke-free, you can simply specify in all new leases that the unit is smoke-free. New tenants will sign the lease or sale agreement acknowledging that they agree to abide by the no smoking policy. 

Existing tenants can't be forced to follow the new policy. As a result, making your building 100% smoke-free can only happen as units turnover to new tenants.
