All British Columbians who need and want to be immunized against the H1N1 flu virus are now eligible to receive the vaccine. This has resulted in increased demand and the clinics over the past week have been very active, resulting in this temporary shortage of vaccine supply. VIHA expects to receive an additional 100,000 doses of vaccine early next week. 

A comprehensive booklet on H1N1 preparedness titled Be Prepared Be Well is also available online and includes valuable information, such as, protecting yourself and your family against the virus, symptoms to look for and self-care.  Visit: www.viha.ca/h1n1/
