BC’s public health authorities are calling on British Columbians to protect themselves, their loved ones and their communities from influenza, COVID-19 and other viral respiratory illnesses, as the 2025-26 immunization campaign is underway.
A failure at multiple points in a process involving Interior Health, School District 53, Osoyoos Secondary School as well as the parents themselves has resulted in a special needs child receiving an immunization his parents expressly did not want him to receive.
Osoyoos’ Mariposa Gardens is one of five health facilities in the Okanagan Valley reporting COVID-19 outbreaks this week, according to Interior Health.
