Is H1N1 flu vaccine also free to people with TRV?

My nanny has a work visa but has not been here the 3 months yet to apply for OHIP. The vaccines clinics are starting to roll the H1N1 shots out Monday the 26th, can she get it for free too??

You need a health card to avail of the H1N1 vaccine. Also, you have to meet the criteria in order to be eligible for it.

What criteria ? would you explain?

Just as an update, NO you do not need a health card. My nanny got the vaccine no problem yesterday. She just said she had a work visa and no health card and Ontario Public Health said no problem as she is working with children. Not sure if other provinces will do the same, but I suspect they would???

Because she meets the criteria, but if she didn't work with children, I doubt it if they have given it to her
