Protecting ourselves and our communities

You Can Too initiative: Self advocates from across B.C., including Michelle and Michael, along with Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry, share stories and information about the importance of getting vaccinated.

The COVID-19 pandemic has been very hard for all of us. We have missed seeing our friends and doing the things in our community that make us happy. But now, in British Columbia, we are getting closer to beating COVID and making ourselves and our communities safe thanks to vaccines.

To get the most effective protection against serious cases of COVID-19, people need two doses of vaccine. Many individuals, family members and support workers have already gotten their COVID-19 vaccinations, but we know some are still worried and have questions.

CLBC’s You Can Too initiative features video messages from self advocates as well as Dr. Bonnie Henry letting those who may be hesitating know that they can get their shots too!

You can hear about how they made their decision to get vaccinated, what it was like going to the vaccine clinic, and what they are excited to do now that they are protected by the vaccine.

If you are a self advocate or family member who is still trying to decide, or you know someone who is in this situation, please take the time to visit: CommunityLivingBC.ca/YouCanToo
