Are B.C.?s First Nations communities at a higher risk from the H1N1 flu virus?

? B.C. has an extremely vigilant and responsive public health system in place that alerts us to any influenza-like illnesses throughout the entire province, including First Nations communities.

? As soon as the Province learned about H1N1, all First Nations communities in the province were contacted through the First Nations Health Council and made aware of the situation.

? B.C. is the only province with a formal Tripartite Agreement in place that ensures First Nations communities have a strong and close relationship with the regional health authorities and Health Canada and can therefore access information and services quickly and efficiently.
