A news release from the B.C. government: British Columbians reminded to get their flu shot. Excerpt:
B.C.'s Health Minister Margaret MacDiarmid and provincial health officer Dr. Perry Kendall got their flu shot today to demonstrate the importance of getting vaccinated as part of the provincial influenza immunization campaign.
Clinics are now open throughout the province, and eligible British Columbians are able to get immunized at a wide variety of locations - from dedicated flu clinics, to their doctor's offices, or local pharmacist. Specially trained pharmacists have been able to offer immunizations for three years. More than 2,000 community pharmacists throughout B.C. are authorized to provide the flu vaccine this year.I popped in to my physician's office this morning and got my shot.
