- Wednesday, November 20th from 9:00 AM-12:00 PM
- Thursday, November 21st from 9:00 AM-12:00 PM
Unfortunately, because the Quebec government no longer offers free flu vaccines to the general population, we cannot offer flu shots to the rest of our students (law regarding health听accessory fees). If you would still like to be immunized for influenza, you can obtain the vaccine at a local pharmacy, clinic, or CLSC for a small fee. Please note only students听who have paid the Student Services fee are eligible to use the services provided by the Student Wellness Hub.
