Question:
I am visiting from another province. Can I get the influenza vaccine for free? How do I do that?
Answer:
People visiting BC from other provinces are eligible for publicly funded (free) influenza vaccine. Please contact BC's provincial call centre at 1-833-838-2323 for information on how to get the influenza (flu) vaccine while visiting BC. If you don’t have health insurance under B.C’s Medical Service Plan (MSP), you may be charged a fee to have the vaccine given at a doctor’s office or pharmacy. You will not be charged this fee at the local health unit clinic.
