Public-health officials look to the influenza season in the southern hemisphere — where the season started earlier and infection rates were higher than in 2020 and 2021 — to help anticipate the severity of the season in the northern hemisphere. Those who want to get their COVID-19 vaccine and flu shot in a single appointment can book through the government’s GetVaccinated website or by calling 1-833-838-2323 any day of the week from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
“Our ImmunizeBC team is making real-time updates to ensure this doesn’t continue to happen,” the Health Ministry said in a statement, apologizing for the errors and asking users to try the GetVaccinated phone number if they can’t complete their booking online.
