Despite assurances from mom Stacy Bond (left)—eight year old Matthew says “Ow” as public health nurse Nicole Sayer administers a vaccination shot in Provost to combat A/Perth and B/Brisbane strains of ’flu that are expected this fall and winter. A dose was also included in the single needle to fight against the H1N1 pandemic that had circulated in 2009. The World Health Organization declared the H1N1 pandemic over in August 2010 but it’s predicted that the virus will continue to circulate so protection against it has been included with the seasonal influenza vaccine. The triple vaccine is available free through clinics across Alberta. ©Provost News Photo.
