Infectious diseases specialist Dr. Zain Chagla says other countries have seen influenza spikes this year and Ontario should brace for something similar
Chagla says Ontarians should get their flu shots to avoid serious symptomatic illness and related health-care strain as the system deals with staffing shortages and other challenges.
Dr. Andrew Petrosoniak, an emergency doctor in Toronto, says he anticipates hospital strain will worsen in the fall after a summer of long wait times and temporary closures in emergency departments due to staffing shortages. Pediatrician Dr. Sloane Freeman says she’s also concerned about children falling behind COVID-19 vaccinations and other immunizations that were missed during the pandemic, and says efforts must be made to help them catch up.
