 I'm here in the Gordon and Leslie Diamond Health Care Center right across from BGH in beautiful Vancouver Fairview and I've just had a flu shot. I was immunized today Dr. Perry Kendall and a lovely two-year-old little girl called Margo and all of us are taking care to protect ourselves from influenza. It's very important this year that young children and their parents get immunized. For the first time this year, providing free vaccine to all children six months to five years of age and we've done that because we know that children of this age are at higher risk of severe illness from influenza compared to older children and healthy adults. It is very important if you're one of the groups identified as eligible for free vaccine that you do get immunized. It's equally important that those of us who work or live with people who are identified at higher risk that we get vaccinated as well. By protecting ourselves from through we also protect them. That is why this year here in British Columbia we have asked all healthcare workers to either get immunized against influenza or to wear a mask for the duration of the flu season. Influenza can be a very unpleasant illness with fever and chills and put you to bed for a few days but for some people, for older people, for young children, for women who are pregnant and for people whose immune system is compromised, it can be deadly and so I made the choice to have a flu shot and I'm encouraging British Columbians who are eligible and even those who don't are not eligible for a free flu shot to get out there and get protected.
