B.C. Government H1N1 background info:
Beginning Friday, November 20, all British Columbians who want to be immunized against the H1N1 flu virus are eligible to receive the vaccine.
Not everyone will be able to be immunized immediately. Each region will need to gauge supply and demand, and there may be some differences in timing of vaccine availability because of these variables. People are encouraged to contact their local Public Health unit or family physician for more information on getting the vaccine.
Posted H1N1 public health vaccine clinics are held based on vaccine availability. If you cannot find a clinic in your area, that does not mean the H1N1 vaccine is not available in your region. As clinic information is changing on a rapid basis, some locations - including physicians' offices - may be offering the H1N1 vaccine that are not yet indicated on the map.
If you wish to receive the H1N1 vaccine, but are not able to attend any of the currently listed clinics in your area, contact your local Public Health Unit or your family physician for more information on where you can get vaccinated.
British Columbians who receive the H1N1 vaccine, and for whom the seasonal flu shot is also recommended, will be able to receive both at the same time if it is offered in your area.
