Dr. Kieran Moore (2022)
Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer of Health is urging residents to take precautions as respiratory virus season intensifies heading into the holidays.
Dr. Kieran Moore says flu cases are rising while COVID-19 and RSV activity remain low, emphasizing that vaccines remain the strongest protection against severe illness.
Flu, COVID-19, and RSV immunizations are available across the province, particularly for high-risk groups such as young children, seniors, and pregnant individuals.
He also encourages simple preventive steps like handwashing, staying home when sick, and cleaning shared surfaces to reduce transmission.
