IMPORTANT: Correction to Fraser Health Booking Link
Dear Accommodation Community,

Employees working within the hotel industry in the Fraser Health and Vancouver Coastal Health regions, who have not already received their first vaccination, are now eligible to receive their first dose of the vaccine.

Please note, we have been informed that that the link for the Fraser Health booking site that we were provided yesterday was incorrect.

See below for updated booking information for each region.
VANCOUVER COASTAL HEALTH UPDATE
Vancouver Coastal Health continues to implement the provincial COVID-19 Immunization Plan, which includes priority frontline workers, in industries where full use of personal protective equipment and barriers can be challenging, where outbreaks and clusters have occurred, and where workers live or work in congregate settings.

This week, employees at your business aged 18 and older (born in 2003 or earlier) may follow the two-step process below to register and then book an appointment.

  • Please arrive no more than 15 minutes before your appointment.

  • Wear short sleeves and a mask.
  • After you receive your vaccination, please plan to stay on site for 15 minutes to ensure you experience no adverse effects, such as an allergic reaction.
Important reminder: Provincial orders and guidelines remain in place for everyone, even if you have received the vaccine.
