Alberta says more than 70 per cent of eligible Albertans are now fully immunized against COVID-19 and 78.2 per cent of eligible Albertans have received at least one dose.

As of September 2, 2.6 million Albertans have received both of their doses of vaccine.

 

Alberta is now providing a third dose to all seniors living in congregate care facilities and for immunocompromised Albertans.

The province is also offering additional mRNA doses to Albertans who are travelling to other countries that do not accept visitors who have been vaccinated with Covishield/AstraZeneca or mixed doses.
