Alberta’s government will remove provincewide health measures in three stages as vaccine targets are reached and hospitalizations decline.

Alberta’s COVID-19 immunity continues to grow with two million doses now working to protect Albertans.

Alberta’s government is providing more than $789,000 in funding to support the provincial implementation of a new digital tool to improve police interactions when responding to mental health emergencies.

All Albertans over the age of 12 will soon be eligible for COVID-19 vaccine to protect themselves and stop the spike.

Starting April 20, Albertans aged 40 or over will be able to receive the AstraZeneca vaccine.

Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Deena Hinshaw issued the following statement on a confirmed case of vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT) in a patient after receiving the AstraZeneca vaccine:

More same-day walk-ins for the AstraZeneca vaccine are available for eligible Albertans in Edmonton and Calgary.

With rapid flow clinics opening in Calgary and Edmonton, Alberta is expanding distribution to deliver doses at a record pace.

Step 1 of Alberta’s four-step framework to ease restrictions is underway as pressure eases on the health system and hospitalizations remain below 600.

Alberta will soon begin piloting point-of-care rapid testing for COVID-19, providing faster, more convenient testing for the disease.
