Alberta increases vaccine rollout
By Murray Green
Alberta’s government will bring in four new measures starting immediately to ramp up the COVID-19 vaccine rollout as infections and hospitalizations rise.
The new measures will mean about 500,000 more Albertans will be eligible to be vaccinated starting last Wednesday.
“We are in a race between the vaccines and variants and, finally, doses are arriving in significant numbers. We will use these to aggressively expand our rollout, speeding up the timelines and expanding the ways that we get the doses to Albertans. We will meet or surpass our promise to offer every adult a first dose by June 30,” said Alberta Premier Jason Kenney.
“Our health officials are working hard to make new shipments of vaccine available to Albertans as soon as they arrive. I strongly urge Albertans to get immunized as soon as they are eligible. When it’s your turn, sign up for your shot, show up for your appointment, and follow up for your second dose,” added Tyler Shandro, minister of health.
Anyone born in 2005 or earlier with eligible underlying health conditions can book appointments for the COVID-19 vaccine at participating pharmacies or with Alberta Health Services (AHS) online or by calling 811.
Those currently eligible under Phase 2B are Albertans with underlying health conditions born in or before 1973. This amounts to about 150,000 Albertans. By expanding to those born in 2005 or before, 500,000 more Albertans will be eligible.
Information on eligible health conditions, including examples, is available at alberta.ca/vaccine.
Albertans aged 55 to 64 who do not have a chronic health condition can now make an appointment to receive the AstraZeneca vaccine. However, consult with your doctor if this is an option for you before booking an appointment.
Effective immediately, anyone born between 1957 and 1966 can book appointments at participating pharmacies across the province. AHS began booking appointments on Monday, April 12.
The risk of COVID-19 infection is far greater than any vaccine risk.
Based on current evidence, Albertans who are age 55 and older who are diagnosed with COVID-19 are at least 10 times more likely to be admitted to the intensive care unit from COVID-19, and at least 45 times more likely to need hospital treatment for COVID-19, than they are to experience any form of rare, treatable blood clots.
Eligible Albertans in this phase can choose to wait to receive a Pfizer or Moderna vaccine which will be available to them when Phase 2D opens in May.
Bookings for rapid flow clinics in Red Deer are now open. More clinics will open in Edmonton and Calgary this week.
Bookings can be made with Alberta Health Services (AHS) online or by calling 811.
Alberta will soon expand its vaccine rollout at participating pharmacies to allow walk-in bookings.
Fridge Clippings
Erna Adam (now of Camrose) treasures her copy of this November 19, 1996 news story from The Camrose Booster. The story, written by Dan Jensen, recounts incredible community kindness shown to Erna and her husband Art after an out-of-the-blue heart attack. At the time, Art was dismantling an old hog barn on their property. When hearing the news, their Meeting Creek area neighbours formed a community work bee to not only complete this teardown, but also to harvest their crop that fall, dry the damp grain and then haul it to Legacy Junction grain terminal. Twenty-five years later, Erna is truly appreciative of having so many friends and terrific neighbours. This story will always remain a wonderful memory of a difficult time.
