H1N1 vaccine available to all Albertans over six months of age starting Nov. 23.
Given a positive resolution to the national vaccine shortage, and good uptake of vaccine among the highest-risk groups previously announced, Alberta’s H1N1 immunization program will expand to include all members of the public starting Monda...y, Nov. 23.
As of Nov.20, Alberta has approximately 500,000 doses of vaccine on hand, and will be receiving regular shipments through December to immunize up to 50,000 people per day. All Albertans who want to be immunized will have that opportunity over the next couple of months. Over 650,000 Albertans have been immunized so far.
Over the last week, Alberta Health Services has observed reduced community spread of the virus, seen reduced pressure on its emergency departments and intensive care units, and had markedly reduced demand at its Influenza Assessment Centres. With this decline of the second wave of H1N1, officials are encouraging Albertans to be immunized before the end of the year.
Lineups at immunization clinics have been short over the last couple of weeks. In anticipation of increased demand next week, Alberta Health Services has put strategies in place to manage lines if required, including wristbands handed to those in line indicating the time they can return for immediate service. There will be no need for people to lineup before clinics open in the morning.
Mass immunization clinics are scheduled until late December. Alberta Health Services will be working over the coming weeks to make vaccine available through other providers, including family physicians, pharmacies, and post secondary and employer clinics.
For the most current information on the H1N1 immunization program, including clinic dates and locations go to: www.albertahealthservices.ca. For the convenience of the public, several clinic locations are provided in larger urban centres. Clinic dates may vary in smaller communities, so check the website before you go.

Starting Friday, November 20, Alberta’s H1N1 immunization program will expand to include all children under 18 years of age as of November 1, as well as their immediate family members and caregivers living in the same household. The opportunity to include other... Albertans will depend on an assessment of demand for the vaccine over the weekend.
Immunization for seniors expands November 19th to include those 65 years of age and older as of November 1, as well as their spouse or partner of any age.
As of Friday, November 20, Alberta will have approximately 500,000 doses of vaccine on hand, and will be receiving regular shipments through December. All Albertans who want to be immunized will have that opportunity over the next couple of months. Mass immunization clinics will continue for the next several weeks. Alberta Health Services will be working over the coming weeks to make vaccine available through other providers, including family physicians, pharmacies and employer clinics.For the most current information on the targeted vaccination campaign, including dates, clinic locations, a list of chronic conditions for high-risk groups and groups being vaccinated, go to: www.albertahealthservices.ca
