- New mandatory public health measures in effect April 6.
- Get vaccinated: Everyone 55+. Many 16+ with health conditions. Walk-ins for AstraZeneca.
Get vaccinated. It's safe and easy.
COVID-19 vaccines help prevent you from getting infected and protect you from getting severely sick if you do get it. All vaccines are safe, effective and save lives.
Albertans are being vaccinated in phases so people most at risk get it first. More groups will be added as we get more doses. Find out who's eligible now.
Until most Albertans are protected, fully vaccinated people must still follow all health measures: no indoor gatherings, keep 2 metres apart, wear a mask in public, and stay home when sick.
Progress to date
As of April 15:
- 1,082,391 doses administered
- 24,211 doses per 100,000 population
- 211,667 Albertans fully immunized (2 doses)
- 224 adverse events following immunization reported (learn about vaccine safety)

Who should get vaccinated
Every Albertan who can get vaccinated, should get vaccinated.
Vaccines make our immune systems stronger by building antibodies to help prevent and fight off diseases. Because COVID-19 is a new virus, no one has natural immunity. It is much safer and more effective to get immunized than it is to get infected.
Get vaccinated
- Albertans 16 and older
- Recovered from COVID-19
Consult doctor first
- If you have questions about the vaccine or your health conditions
Don't get vaccinated
- Children under 16, at this time
- Severe allergy to vaccine ingredients
Canada has one of the most robust vaccine approval processes in the world. Any adverse effects have been minimal.
The COVID-19 vaccines meet high national requirements. They are safe and vital.
Seniors are at a higher risk from COVID-19. Vaccines help your immune system and fight off disease.
COVID-19 vaccines are for young and healthy people, too. They can protect you and those around you.
All approved vaccines effectively prevent serious illness and death.
Get vaccinated as soon as you can, no matter what vaccine is provided.
