Winter is here, and with it comes a tough flu season for many families in Canada.

Children’s hospitals are feeling the pressure as more kids come in with flu symptoms. CHEO in Ottawa even reported eight times more positive flu cases this November compared to last year.

Because of this rise, doctors are encouraging families to get their children vaccinated to help reduce the spread. Flu moves quickly in schools and daycare, especially during these cold months.

As parents, we know how fast kids can fall sick. How are you keeping your family healthy this winter? Have your kids gotten their flu shot yet?
