Splatsin Health Services aims to promote health through public health programming delivered by a Community Health Nurse (CHN).
Program support and delivery includes prevention and control of many communicable diseases:
Splatsin provides timely access to vaccines, improving immunization rates and increasing immunization awareness. The Community Health Nurse (CHN) offers child health clinics, adult clinics, school-based immunizations, and flu vaccine initiatives. The CHN manages the ordering and maintenance of vaccine supplies, including daily monitoring, and reporting to partner organizations.
The flu vaccine is now available. Visit our drop-in clinics on Thursdays from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. throughout the fall. Community Health Nurses will be available to answer your questions and give you the information and tools you need to stay healthy. If you are an elder, are pregnant or have chronic health issues, contact the Splatsin Community Centre to schedule a flu shot at your home.
