British Columbians are now eligible to get their flu shot, but one of the ways it can be accessed is changing for the first time.
This year, people registered with the provincial Get Vaccinated system will automatically be sent an invitation to book their influenza immunization online, just like they can book their COVID-19 vaccines, the province said in a release.
However, people can still walk in at some pharmacies to get the flu shot or people can still call the provincial call centre (toll-free) to book their influenza vaccine at 1-833-838-2323.
“Getting vaccinated is the best way to protect ourselves and our communities, and we’ve made it easier for British Columbians to do so,” said Adrian Dix, Minister of Health, in a statement.
“We’re continuing to offer everyone free flu shots, and seniors can now get more protection with an enhanced vaccine. To make it even easier, many people will be able to get their influenza and COVID-19 vaccines at the same time.”
