COVID-19 Vaccine Update from Alberta Health Services
Rosanne Fortier News Correspondent
Yolanda Genu, Senior Communications Advisor for Central Zone said, “Presently in Vegreville, AHS is providing appointments for those eligible for the AstraZeneca/ Covishield vaccine. As we’ve previously shared, AHS has always had plans to offer an immunization clinic in Vegreville, and will be offering other COVID immunization products in the future as vaccine supply is available. Days and times of the clinics will vary, as they do across our rural immunization sites, by booked appointment. AHS opened a vaccination site in Vegreville on March 11 and have completed 1,018 immunizations as of March 19. Genu went on to say, “There are still some Covishield/AstraZeneca appointments remaining throughout the province and these appointments can only be booked through Health Link at 811. The Covishield/AstraZeneca vaccine is being offered at AHS immunization sites in each zone, however, some individuals will need to travel outside their home community if they choose this vaccine.” According to AHS, a total of 2,524 COVID-19 swabs completed between Nov.21, 2020 and March 18, 2021 at the Vegreville testing site. There have been 161 positive cases of COVID-19 with five still active in the County of Minburn, including Vegreville.
