COVID-19 Information - Boucher Campus
The British Columbia Provincial Health Officer requires all students of post-secondary institutions participating in the delivery of any medical services at a care location for training to be vaccinated for COVID-19. This provincial order applies to all students acting as primary interns, secondary interns, students shadowing in the clinic as well as Y1T1 students at the Boucher Campus for all Boucher clinics as well as for preceptoring and externships.
If you believe you have a valid medical exemption, you need to seek the approval of the regional Medical Health Officer for the Fraser Health District.
The College is required to comply with the provincial directive. It is not known how long this Order will remain in effect, but it is likely to be for at least the remainder of this year and the first half of 2023.
NOTE: Students must have received both doses, plus wait a period of 14 days from the last dose to be considered fully vaccinated.
