Don't let the flu take you by surprise. The flu may seem harmless but it can wipe you out for a few days when you least expect it.
The flu vaccine offers safe protection against getting sick, meaning fewer unpleasant surprises for you and those around you. Getting the flu shot is an important step to protect yourself and those around you. It can help keep your health-care team strong and your family healthy.
The vaccine is the best way to protect against the flu, and flu shots for health-care staff are free.
Staff flu clinics start on Oct. 11.
Some sites will have Peer Immunizers providing flu shots to colleagues – ask your manager for details.
Staff can visit any VCH or other health authority staff clinic (except for any long-term care or assisted living sites) to get their flu shot.
VCH staff can also get immunized at most doctors' offices and at pharmacies. View a a map of public clinics across BC.
COVID-19 boosters will not be available at staff flu clinics.
