To Your Health: Child vaccinations

Oct 28, 2025 | 6:00 AM

PRINCE GEORGE – As temperatures drop across the province, BC Children’s Hospital is reminding families to take extra precautions to keep their children healthy this winter. The number of children visiting the emergency department has nearly doubled.

Every year, health professionals observe an increase in the number of children seeking care for coughs and congestion.

To help reduce the risk of severe illness, families are encouraged to ensure their children are up to date on both flu and COVID-19 vaccinations, practice good hand hygiene, and stay home when they are feeling unwell.

Parents are also urged to contact 8-1-1 for any non-urgent health concerns, which allows emergency departments to focus on the most critical cases.
