“We encourage all Albertans born in 2009 or earlier to protect themselves and others by being vaccinated as soon as possible. Please bring your Alberta Health Care card if you have one, along with photo ID. You will be required to wear a face mask and use hand sanitizer when visiting the site for your immunization,” the release reads.

AHS clarifies that second doses of vaccine will not be offered at these clinics.
