This week, B.C.’s Public Health Officer, Dr. Bonnie Henry, issued a statement to ensure children in B.C. are up to date on all their vaccines as part of back-to-school. In preparation, school staff are encouraged to review the Provincial Communicable Disease Guidelines for K-12 Settings. These guidelines are intended to reduce the risk of transmission of communicable disease in K-12 settings and are aligned with guidance from the BC Centre for Disease Control and Ministry of Health. More information about upcoming vaccine clinics can be found at Immunize BC.
