Are you a Flu Fighter yet?
Just two weeks left until the flu season officially begins. Have you had your flu shot yet? If not, you can go to one of the staff clinics at VGH, LGH, or Powell River Hospital, peer immunizers, or visit your family doctor, walk-in clinic or pharmacy.
If you’ll be fighting the flu by wearing a mask, they’ll be available on units as of December 1, when the Influenza Prevention Policy is in effect.
Don’t forget to report your shot
Have your employee ID number and report online at:
