New interactive map shows vaccine coverage in Alberta

Alberta Premier Jason Kenney said, “this map is a helpful tool for Albertans, and reflects our government’s commitment to transparency.”

“Since the start of this pandemic, Alberta has consistently provided more online information to Albertans than any other jurisdiction because we know that being informed helps us all to be part of the solution.”

As of Tuesday, May 18, 51 per cent of people in west Lethbridge has received one dose, 54.4 per cent of people in the south end of the city have received one dose, and 49 per cent of people in north Lethbridge have received one dose.

7.2 per cent of west Lethbridge residents have been fully vaccinated, 8.7 per cent on the north side of the city, and 14.6 per cent of people in south Lethbridge have been fully immunized.

The province noted that it’s currently the only one that “openly reports metrics such as regional R values, comorbidities and cases among health-care workers”.

Minister of Health Tyler Shandro added that, “[Alberta’s] vaccine rollout is gaining momentum.”

“By tracking vaccine uptake within communities, we can all help support each other to be protected when and where it is needed most. As we move closer toward widespread immunity, we hope this will motivate individuals and communities to do the right thing for themselves, for each other and for our health system.”

As of Monday, May 17, Alberta has delivered more than 2.2 million doses of vaccine.
