B.C is preparing for a possible surge of influenza infections at the same time that the virus strikes this fall.

Canada has announced that it will drop the travel vaccine requirement and the mask mandate — but not everyone is thrilled about the decision.

But Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry told reporters that we are "in a different place right now globally" and people know a great deal more about the virus and its potential impacts. Since there is such a high rate of vaccination, Canada doesn't have the same "level of risk and susceptibility and vulnerability" that was widespread in previous years. Further, Omicron has also been the dominant variant for several months now and health officials don't expect another one to emerge this fall.
