Global News published this video item, entitled “1 million influenza vaccines administered already, Dr. Bonnie Henry says | FULL” – below is their description.
B.C. Minister of Health Adrian Dix and provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry held a press conference Friday providing an update on the ongoing respiratory illness season and the province’s immunization campaign.
Dr. Bonnie Henry said over the past couple of weeks there has been a slight rise in respiratory illnesses, especially among children, according to tests at the BC Children’s Hospital.
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) levels in B.C. children are a “little” higher than pre-pandemic levels but nothing close to what the province experienced last year, Henry said.
The new “updated” vaccines for both influenza and COVID-19 have been arriving in B.C. since early September and have continued throughout October.
According to Henry, more than 1 million influenza vaccines have been administered to British Columbians so far this season and more than 840,000 COVID-19 vaccines have been administered, as well.
