All Albertans aged 75 and older can
book an appointment to receive the
COVID-19 vaccination. In addition to
Alberta Health Services (AHS) sites, a
list of participating pharmacies is avail-
able through the website of Alberta Blue
Cross (ab.bluecross.ca). Appointments
at participating pharmacies are starting
this week.
As more doses become available,
more pharmacies will begin to offer the
vaccine, including in more communities.
“As the vaccine supply increases in the
province, we look forward to expanding
the program to include all community
pharmacists in pharmacies across the
province,” said Margaret Wing, Alberta
Pharmacists’ Association CEO, in a Feb.
24 government news release.
By providing flu and other vaccines
in the past, pharmacies have the skills
needed to safely provide COVID-19 vac-
cines, according to the government.
Albertans are being encouraged to
have both doses of vaccine at the same
location, so any first doses booked at a
community pharmacy will be followed
by the second dose at the same place.
The pharmacies must be called di-
rectly to book an appointment through
them. Residents must select the phar-
macy that is located closest to them. No
walk-ins are permitted. Booking for vac-
cination at AHS sites can still be made
online (albertahealthservices.ca) or by
