Flu shots now available

Chris Adams
By Chris Adams

Flu season is coming and its time to think about the flu shot.

Interior Health is hosting a free flu clinic on Oct. 30 with more in the next few weeks.

Tracey Fentiman, a public health nurse with Interior Health says there will be a clinic in the Interlakes area on Nov. 1, 108 Mile Ranch Nov.2, and Clinton Nov.5.

Fentimen says contrary to popular belief, the flu shot will not give you the flu.

“The flu shot is a dead virus vaccine, so it cannot get you sick,” she says. “You can have some aches the day you get it or the next morning, but for getting sick, you were probably getting sick already before it.”

The free flu clinic takes place tomorrow from 10 am until 5 pm at the 100 Mile House Health Unit.

The BX Morning Show


I first got into radio when I was a kid when a friend and I made our own radio shows on cassete tapes. Growing up in 100 Mile House, I did a workstudy at this very station.

Thanks to some good advice from my radio mentor Larry Rode, I got a certificate in broadcast arts in 1991. After failing to break into radio after school, I did other jobs but kept my hand in, working as morning host and program director at my universitys station, WUFK in Fort Kent, Maine.

Coming back to 100 Mile, when the afternoon and news job opened up, I took the dive back into radio! When Larry retired after nearly 35 years in 100 Mile, I took over the morning show. I’m happy to be at CKBX, where I always wanted to work, and waking up my hometown!

Tune-in with Chris weekday mornings from 6am to 10am
