All Albertans aged 12 and up eligible for vaccine May 10

“This is a very exciting day for Alberta and it arrives right when we need it the most. We are battling an extremely aggressive third wave of COVID-19 and we know that vaccines are our best weapon against it. By opening bookings to everybody over 12 years of age, we are taking a huge step towards stopping the spike and hopefully putting this pandemic behind us for good,” says Premier Jason Kenney.

Health Minister Tyler Shandro hopes to see compliance through this new wave of restrictions and vaccine rollout.

“We vowed to protect those who were most at risk of severe outcomes from COVID-19 first. We’ve done just that, and now, happily, we can move to protect the general population, starting with those age 30 and older. We are ahead of schedule and delivering on our promise to provide at least one dose to every adult Albertan who wants one by June 30. Now that we have gotten to this point, every Albertan can help drive cases down by getting vaccinated.”

Kenney also added that the two different age groups were separated so that the booking tool online doesn’t get overwhelmed.
