Currently, influenza activity in British Columbia is well below historic norms and the second wave of the H1N1 pandemic in Canada has officially passed. The majority of the H1N1 flu virus cases in B.C. were relatively mild and were detected by the Province’s robust and responsive public health surveillance system.

While public health officials don’t expect to see a comeback of H1N1 in the next few months, the Province is prepared for any cases of H1N1 influenza that may occur during the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in February and March.

For more information on the H1N1 flu vaccine, visit www.gov.bc.ca/h1n1. To find where you can get your H1N1 and/or seasonal flu shot, visit the Flu Clinic Locator at www.ImmunizeBC.ca or contact your local public health unit. More locations will be added as they are confirmed.

If you have any questions or are concerned about any illness/symptoms experienced by you or your children, call HealthLink BC at 811, 24 hours a day/seven days a week to speak to a nurse.
