Protect yourself from the flu: Get your flu shot

Influenza vaccines are now available across British Columbia. Influenza (flu) season generally occurs in the fall and winter but can occur as early as October and as late as May. Even healthy people can get very sick from the flu and spread it to others. Getting the flu shot is your best protection.

The Pharmacists Clinic at the UBC Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences is participating in the Provincial Influenza Campaign. Immunizations for Influenza and COVID-19 will be held on November 5, 6 and 12.

Advance appointments are booked by registering with the provincial government’s Get Vaccinated system. Vaccination against measles mumps and rubella (MMR), tetanus and pneumococcal pneumonia will also be available.

If you have already registered with the Get Vaccinated system, you will not need to re-register to receive an invite for the influenza vaccine. If you have not yet registered, you will need to visit the Get Vaccinated page to register.
