Province rolls out phased flu vaccine plan amid H1N1 concerns
BC announces a staged vaccination campaign delaying under-65 shots this season to curb a possible H1N1 second wave. Seniors and long term care residents get vaccines Oct 13, with broader access in early 2010. Health officials note a preliminary study linking seasonal flu shots to higher H1N1 risk, while stressing two-dose needs may arise. The message underlines public health priorities and hand washing guidance. The province also designates October to honor foster families and agencies supporting BC children in care.
