If you are eligible for both, we encourage you to get them at the same visit,” said Dr. Yves Léger in a provincial news release. Appointments can be made online or at participating community pharmacies. The shots will also be available through certain primary care providers. Children can receive their vaccines through a primary care provider as well, or at a local public health office.

Some pharmacies also offer them, although availability varies by location. FluMist, a nasal spray that helps protect against influenza, is also available for children who may be hesitant about traditional vaccines. For more New Brunswick news, visit our dedicated provincial page.
