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 very close to beating COVID and making ourselves and our communities safe thanks to vaccines.Building on our success, we need as many people as possible to get their vaccinations.
Visit the "You Can Too!" webpage to find video messages from Dr. Bonnie Henry and self advocate leaders to let those who may be hesitating know, they can get their shots too! You can also find links to helpful information and resources.
If you are a self advocate or family member who is still trying to decide, please take the time to review the page and the videos.
If you are a service provider, please share this page with your staff and the individuals and families you support.
