The HealthLink BC Files are easy-to-understand fact sheets on a range of public health and safety topics. Most files are available in English and translated languages.
HealthLink BC Files provide information on childhood and adult disease prevention, infant vision and dental care, immunizations, and environmental health hazards. They also give advice to travellers on vaccinations plus precautions to take while abroad, food safety and how to avoid food poisoning, and many other hot topics.
The HealthLink BC Files are posted online as web pages and in printer-friendly formats (PDF), and topics can be searched by series or categories such as Disease Prevention, Environment, Family and Home, and Seasonal.
The development and review of the HealthLink BC Files are managed by HealthLink BC. The HealthLink BC Files are updated regularly. New HealthLink BC Files can be produced quickly in response to an emerging public health concern and distributed through a province-wide network to a broad audience.
