Nancy Desrosiers, executive director, Quality & Patient Safety, Infection Control, & Community Engagement getting her flu shot.

Win a Fitbit!

The flu season officially begins December 1, and at the same time, the  Health Care Worker Influenza Protection Policy goes into effect. Beginning December 1, all staff and physicians must have had a flu shot or wear a mask while in patient areas.
This year, everyone must also report their shot or mask wearing online.  Anyone who reports by December 1 will be automatically entered to win a Fitbit Charge HR (with heart rate monitor)!

Report your shot: https://flu.vch.ca/

$200 party up for grabs!

Send us your version of “kung-flu fighting” & win! Write a verse or chorus to the tune of the song Kung-Fu Fighting to be about the flu (you don’t need to rewrite the whole song). Just a line or two is enough to enter. Film your team singing it, or if you’re shy, just lip sync and enter the lyrics in YouTube, and send it to tiffany.akins@vch.ca (you may need to use Dropbox to send a larger file).

The winning team will win a $200 gift card to have a celebration. Deadline is December 1. Entries will be posted on the VCH Facebook page.
