Hey there, Albertans! If you're curious about the upcoming changes to the COVID-19 vaccination program in Alberta, you're in the right place. Starting in October, the government is launching a new two-phase plan to make getting vaccinated easier than ever!

In Phase 1, free vaccines will be accessible to various groups, including health care workers and seniors living in care homes. This phase also aims to protect those who are most vulnerable while ensuring that vaccines don’t go to waste.

Everyone else isn’t left out! Phase 2 will allow all Albertans to receive the vaccine for a small fee of $100 per dose. But don’t worry; appointments for Phase 1 start on October 1—so if you qualify, be sure to book your spot!

To make things even easier, the Alberta Vaccine Booking System is up and running until September 30. If you pre-order, you'll get a notification in October when it's time to book your appointment. This helps ensure fewer doses go unused, which is great news for taxpayers!

So, make sure you chat with your health care provider about the best vaccination approach for you. Together, we can keep Alberta healthy!
