Masks up!

If you choose to not be vaccinated for the flu this year, as of December 1 you are required to wear a mask while in patient care areas. To learn how to properly use and wear a mask, check out this 90 second video.

If you haven’t got your shot yet, there are still many opportunities. You can get a shot through your family doctor, at a walk-in clinic, most pharmacies and VCH clinics.

Report it right

Please report your flu shot as soon as possible after you are immunized. If you don’t report your shot, you will be expected to wear a mask as of December 1. It takes less than one minute to complete the on-line reporting form. If you report your shot on the wrong website, your manger will approach you thinking you still haven’t received your flu shot and you may be required to wear a mask.
