COVID-19 Vaccinations for Hygienists

by | May 28, 2021 | Featured

May 28th, 2021:

All dental hygienists who have received their first dose, must register on the BC Government website in order to receive notification of when they should book for their second dose.  Your information regarding your first dose is held in the provincial system, and it will automatically send you a notice when your eligibility date arrives.  If you are concerned, you should CALL the provincial number and talk to a representative who will be able to confirm what information is held on file (e.g., date of your first dose).  But you MUST register yourself on the provincial system.

Some health authorities may periodically have region specific updates, in which case that information will be updated on this page with the date of the latest announcement clearly posted.


How do I register?
• Online at: gov.bc.ca/getvaccinated
• By phone at: 1-833-838-2323. Interpreters are available. Press ‘4’ immediately. When an agent answers, state the language you need and then wait for an Interpreter to join the call. If you are deaf or hard of hearing dial 7-1-1.
• If you don’t have a Personal Health Number, register by phone or at a Service B.C. office.
