Faster than a speeding bullet?

VCH physicians and staff are turning into super hero Flu Fighters — and we have the video to prove it!

We’re fighting the deadly flu and you can, too. Staff flu clinics are here to help — but for a limited time only. Visit our map of special staff clinics at VCH sites.

You also have the option to wear a mask starting December 1, 2014.

Report your immunization

Don’t forget to report your flu shot within two days of being immunized here. It takes less than one minute to self-report.

VCH medical staff (doctors, dentists, midwives and nurse practitioners), fellows and other regulated health professionals (scientific & research staff, podiatrists, psychologists, denturists, etc.) can self-report through one of the following methods:

November 3 to 7 is Hand Hygiene (HH) Ambassador Week at Vancouver Acute sites, and teams of Vancouver leaders — including our very own chief operating officer Vivian Eliopoulos — are out in force.

You can find our ambassadors dark and early (shifts start at 7 am) at various locations on the VGH campus, as well as at GF Strong and UBC Hospital. From 7 to 8:30 am, our HH Ambassadors are friendly well-wishers inviting everyone entering or leaving to use hand sanitizer — an important reminder given the early flu outbreaks we’ve already experienced.
