There is no need to call ahead or make an appointment. Simply show up with your BC Services Card. If an appointment is preferred, one can be made through the Get Vaccinated system.

Those who also need a COVID-19 immunization can likely get it at the same time.

Influenza and COVID-19 immunizations are free for everyone six months and older.

Vaccination is safe. Any side-effects are typically very mild and go away on their own within a few days.
