Alberta extending time between COVID vaccine doses by up to four months
LETHBRIDGE, AB – The Government of Alberta is changing the timelines for when people can get their second dose of COVID-19 vaccine.
Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Deena Hinshaw says the province is joining other jurisdictions in adopting the National Advisory Committee on Immunization’s recommendation to extend the period of time between getting the first and second dose.
“Starting March 10, anyone who books a first dose of vaccine will have their second dose timeline extended up to four months.”
If you make an appointment for a first dose on or after March 10, you will be unable to book the second dose appointment at the same time. You will, instead, be notified when the time comes that you can book the second shot.
