The West Nile virus is spread by mosquitoes and infects birds, some animals and humans. Some persons show no symptoms while others have flu-like symptoms accompanied by swollen glands.

Visit your family doctor if you suspect you've contracted the virus or to discuss preventative measures. If you don't have a family doctor, view our list of our practitioners - we are accepting new patients. We also have a Walk-in Clinic that is open 365 days a year.
