Nov 2 2009 - 9:00am
Both the seasonal and pandemic H1N1 influenza vaccines will be available at a public clinic held at the Max Turyk School on Monday Nov 2nd, 9:30AM to 4PM.
People who are not at highest risk are requested to wait until mid-November to get immunized when BC receives its full orders of H1N1 vaccine. Those people who would benefit most from immunization include:
- individuals under 65 years of age with chronic disease
- pregnant women
- individuals - including First Nations people - living in remote or isolated communities.
These groups are at high-risk for suffering complications from pandemic H1N1 infection. British Columbians who fall into these groups who need and want the H1N1 vaccine, and for whom the seasonal flu shot is also recommended, will be able to receive both at the same time.
