LETHBRIDGE, AB – 75 per cent of Albertans aged 12 and up have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.

As of July 22, AHS also reports that 61.3 per cent are fully immunized with two shots.

“Vaccines are crucial to keeping COVID-19 at bay in our province in the months to come,” says Premier Jason Kenney. “I am tremendously proud to see Albertans continue to step up to get their first dose. The more people who get vaccinated, the more control we have over this virus and its effect on our lives moving forward.”

Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Deena Hinshaw tweeted earlier Thursday that over 90 per cent of all recent COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, and deaths in Alberta are among those who remain unvaccinated.

“Seventy-five per cent of eligible Albertans vaccinated with at least one dose is a milestone to celebrate, but a quarter of eligible Albertans still do not have vaccine protection,” says Hinshaw. “We need to vaccinate as many people as possible now to protect us all in the weeks and months ahead.”
