Every day immunization saves lives and makes it possible for British Columbians to live free of illness and disability associated with many vaccine-preventable diseases. In 2007 the province developed ImmunizeBC, a strategic framework to stimulate collective action across the health system and ensure that all British Columbians understand the importance of immunization for themselves, their families, and vulnerable populations.

Background

In last month’s WorkSafeBC article, we outlined various therapy programs available to injured workers, including physiotherapy and massage. However, sometimes these forms of therapy aren’t enough. If a worker requires additional therapy, the GP, specialist, physiotherapist, WorkSafeBC medical advisor, nurse advisor, or case manager might recommend that he or she attend a more structured and intensive rehabilitation program.

What profession might you have pursued, if not for medicine?
Theatre and music.

Which talent would you most like to have?
I’d love to be able to draw. I can write a song, but I can’t even draw a stick man!
