Vaccine Policy for Microboards and Individualized Funding Agents
As an employer, Microboards and Individualized Funding Agents should have a mandatory vaccine policy in place for their employees. This policy can be in your policy and procedures manuals, or as a stand-alone document.
We have created a sample COVID-19 vaccine policy which you can download and use at your convenience.

The COVID-19 Vaccine Order applies to all Community Living BC (CLBC) Service Providers. We have specified how it affects Microboards and Individualized Funding Agents.
