In B.C., the vaccine is available every year starting in October or early November. It is best to get it by the end of November to give your body enough time - about two weeks - to build immunity before the influenza season starts. However, the vaccine can offer protection from influenza if received at any time during the influenza season, which usually occurs from November to April.

The new influenza immunization clinic locator tool, available at http://www.immunizebc.ca will provide a list of nearby immunization clinics based on postal code or community.

Information on immunization clinic schedules is also available through the public health departments of local health authorities starting in October, or through BC NurseLine 24/7 by calling: Greater Vancouver (604) 215-4700, toll-free 1-866-215-4700, or for the deaf and hearing-impaired 1-866-889-4700.

Eligible British Columbians can get their annual influenza immunization through public health clinics and doctors’ offices across B.C.

In B.C., the following groups are eligible for the free annual vaccination:

• People 65 and older and their caregivers
  Children and adults with chronic health conditions and their household contacts
  Health care workers
  Emergency responders
  Healthy children aged 6-23 months
  Household contacts and caregivers of infants aged 0 - 23 months
  Pregnant women who will be in their 3rd trimester during the influenza season
  Residents of nursing homes and other chronic care facilities
  People who work with live poultry and swine
  Employees and inmates at BC correctional facilities

People not eligible for the public program can purchase the influenza vaccine through private clinics and doctors' offices; some employers also provide the vaccine to their employees.
