As weather gets cooler and people spend more time gathering indoors, the annual fall-winter respiratory season emerges.
On Tuesday October 22 BC Provincial Health Officer Dr Bonnie Henry is scheduled to make an announcement about “this year’s respiratory illness season”, at 9:30 am.
The health management of influenza, COVID and RSV now has a political backdrop of an undecided BC election result (initial count does not produce a majority for any party).
If the BC Conservatives end up forming government, their stance is no vaccine mandates. Currently there are no mandates in place.
More to come on October 22.
