Paxlovid to be available in more Alberta pharmacies
LETHBRIDGE, AB – Eligible Albertans will soon have an easier time accessing an antiviral COVID-19 medication.
Starting on April 1, 2022, a greater number of pharmacies across the province will carry Paxlovid, the first COVID-19 treatment approved by AHS that can be taken orally at home.
Initially, it was only offered at 135 pharmacies due to limited supply.
Health Minister Jason Copping says that supply has since increased.
