Vaccination

Accessing the Vaccine

The Imvamune Vaccine is available across BC for many members of our communities. HIM has been working with health authorities across BC to support these efforts, which included hosting public health professionals to mobilize the very first vaccine clinics in the province and partnering on pop-up clinics in places like parks, beaches, bars, and Pride parties.

As of October 2022, BC is providing both the 1st and 2nd dose of the Imvamune vaccine to people who meet the eligibility criteria. Click on the link corresponding to your health authority below to find out if you are eligible and how to get the vaccine close to home.
