425,500 doses have been ordered by the provincial health authorities for this flu season. Their goal is to vaccinate 80% of the population. School clinics will be held and pharmacists will perform injections. The ministry expects doctors to also provide the service. But in 2017, the flu vaccination billing code was cancelled so doctors could not be paid for the flu shots they performed. The goal was to save money by providing vaccines at dedicated clinics. But those clinics are not practical everywhere on this sparsely populated island and they would have to put in place Covid-19 protocols.
