H1N1 Vaccination Resources for Health Care Employers

The Occupational Health and Safety Agency for Health Care (OHSAH) in British Columbia now has a dedicated section of its website for H1N1 Vaccination Campaign Resources, including posters and stickers available for downloading as well as well as H1N1 FAQs for campaign coordinators.

H1N1 Government Websites

The H1N1 Pandemic Influenza Response Plan website is truly accessible, web-based and easily navigated. This web-based approach not only enables updates to be posted as new information becomes available, but it also affords health care providers and the public access to sections of the plan that are relevant to their immediate and specific information needs. It is therefore hoped that this site will serve as a primary and valuable resource to all who require information about health sector H1N1 influenza planning, especially to those working on the response.

This website houses the HR Pandemic Planning deliverables which HEABC has been coordinating including:

A framework describing the strategy for managing human resources during the H1N1 influenza outbreak. It outlines the broad strategy for helping ensure adequate numbers of health care providers are available to work.
The Provincial Health Officer’s policy on occupational infection prevention and control for the H1N1 pandemic influenza - This was developed through a process including WorkSafeBC, the Health Employers Association of BC, the Occupational Health and Safety Agency for health care in BC, unions, regulatory bodies and colleges.
A plan for health care workers that addresses conditions of employment.
A summary of new compensation changes for private physicians.
A summary of human resources guidelines developed by the province in coordination with the federal, provincial and territorial ministries of health.
