Question

I am a 60 year old woman from Canada who needs an annual flu shot. I am currently in Australia for the next 2 months, staying with my daughter and her 1 yr.old baby. The family will be having their flu shots soon, and I am happy to have mine done here, but, my question is, can I then have another one in November in Canada to protect me from the Northen Hemisphere's winter season?

Hello,

 

Welcome to Just Answer and thanks for your question. There is no problem with having another flu shot in Canada in late Fall when you return. Hopefully, by that time we will have a vaccine that incorporates protection against the H1N1 flu as well as our usual norther hemisphere culprits.
