Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccines
  • Starting Tuesday, Sept. 29, 2026, RSV vaccine will be available free to adults 75 and older, residents of long-term care homes and assisted living facilities who are 75 and older and First Nations, Inuit and Métis individuals 60 and older as part of a time-limited program BC is offering
  • Only one dose of RSV vaccine is currently required as it provides long-lasting protection 
  • It is safe to get an RSV vaccine at the same time as other vaccines such as influenza and COVID-19 vaccines
  • RSV vaccine will be available year-round at local pharmacies, public-health units, long-term care and seniors’ assisted living residences and at community health centres or nursing stations in First Nations communities

RSV is a common virus that causes a respiratory illness similar to other viruses like influenza, with symptoms such as fever, headache, sore throat, and cough. RSV can cause severe illness in certain people, hospitalization and even death. Canada’s National Advisory Committee on Immunization recommends the RSV vaccine for all adults 75 years of age and older as well as other groups who are at higher risk of severe illness.

    CONFERENCE REPORT

We're officially launching our report on our 75th Anniversary conference Human Rights and Ageing: Advocating for an Equitable Future.


The conference brought together leaders from across British Columbia and Canada to confront a central question: What does it take to build a future where all older adults can live with dignity, security, and belonging?


Across the two days, one message was clear: an equitable future for ageing requires integrated systems - across health care, housing, transportation, income, environment, and community life - that recognize seniors as central to the social fabric of our province.


This report sets out the directions necessary to build that future and move toward a rights-based, age-inclusive British Columbia.
