Everyone 5+ can get vaccinated. 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.
Third doses are available to everyone 12+ and some children with underlying health conditions. Fourth doses are available to eligible seniors starting April 12.
Book with an AHS clinic or pharmacy online, call 811, or visit a walk-in clinic.
Progress to date
As of June 20:
- 8,888,658 doses administered
- 90.6% of Albertans 12+ with at least 1 dose
- 87.1% of Albertans 12+ fully vaccinated
- 2,716 adverse events following immunization (learn about vaccine safety)
Vaccine effectiveness against infection declines over time – and is lower with the highly transmissible Omicron variant – but they remain the best way to prevent severe illness and death. Additional doses can boost immunity to improve protection and limit spread.
