Protect your children from respiratory illnesses this winter

The guide to Respiratory season and fall immunizations is brought to you by Fraser Health.

Respiratory illnesses tend to increase as we spend more time indoors. Common colds, the flu and COVID-19 spread through tiny droplets as people who are sick breathe, talk, cough or sneeze. When other people breathe in or touch these droplets and then their eyes, mouth or nose before washing their hands they may become sick.
