Alberta’s new COVID vaccine policy preserves access for seniors, those on AISH, the immunocompromised and a few other specialized groups. All other Albertans… Including healthcare workers… will have to pay the full cost out of pocket. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Public health decisions should be made based on the best evidence possible. Instead, we have this anti-science vaccination strategy quietly released late on a Friday afternoon. Shameful. Read more: friendsofmedicare.org/restricting_ac…

The Alberta Government is framing their abdication of public health measures as fiscal responsibility. It is far cheaper to give someone a vaccine than to keep them on a ventilator. Denying vaccines is one of the most most financially reckless things a government can do.

A reminder-the children's Tylenol deal, which they claimed they had to make because of the mass spread of viral illness, was $70 million dollars. Here, they are complaining about spending $21 million dollars on something that will actually keep people out of the hospital.

This is honestly too much. The Premier talking about 135M HC dollars just wasted and acting like she has NOTHING to do with why we are here. Everything she and her govt has done has brought us to this point, a 🧵to recap: buff.ly/HuESfWk 1/10

Novavax update: Today I received a specific email from Sanofi about the Novavax vaccine for 2025 fall: named Nuvaxovid which targets a JN.1 strain. Quote: "Please note that we do not plan to bring Nuvaxovid® to the Canadian market for the upcoming 2025 fall season at this time."

As of today, Friday, June 20, Alberta has reached 1,020 cases of measles. The virus continues to take a toll on our strained health care system. Immunization and effective public health policy is needed immediately to slow the spread.

June 23, 2025 Press Release: The Alberta government should provide the COVID-19 vaccine free of charge The Alberta Health announced that most Albertans will now need to pay out-of-pocket to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. We strongly advocate that the Alberta government provide the

Alberta government requires you to pre-order your COVID and flu vaccines for the fall. It starts today and ends September 30. Pre-order on this website or call 811. bookvaccine.alberta.ca/vaccine/s/preo…

Albertans now must pre-order, book and pay for their COVID-19 vaccines. Public health protection should not be a privilege. User-pay models risk uptake and create cost and access barriers. This is not about politics, it’s about protecting Albertans’ health.albertadoctors.org/news/publicati…
