Ontario doctors are advising people to keep up with vaccinations before the fall, when diseases like COVID-19 and the flu are expected to spread amid challenges to the health system. The doctors spoke on a virtual panel hosted by the Ontario Medical Association for a future discussion about the pandemic and other health care issues in the coming months. Infectious disease expert Dr. Zane Chagla says other countries have seen flu spikes this year, and Ontario should brace for something similar, as well as a possible spike in COVID-19 cases in the fall. Chagla says Ontarians should get their flu shots to avoid serious symptomatic illness and associated health care strain as the system faces staffing shortages and other challenges. Dr. Andrew Petrosoniak, an emergency physician in Toronto, says he expects hospital pressure to worsen in the fall after a summer of long wait times and temporary emergency department closures due to staff shortages. The pediatrician Dr. Sloan Freeman says she’s also concerned about children who are falling behind on COVID-19 vaccinations and other vaccinations that were missed during the pandemic, and says efforts need to be made to help them catch up. This report by The Canadian Press was first published on August 17, 2022.
