Alberta Covid-19 Vaccination Program Triggers Confusion, Criticism

The province pointed to prior vaccine waste as Dr. James Talbot called the campaign concerning and confusing, criticizing reduced availability and accessibility this year.
On Monday, Alberta health officials noted the province will cover costs for immunocompromised individuals and social programs during the vaccine pre-ordering process.
Health experts cautioned critics warned the plan could lead to more hospitalizations and stress on health-care workers, with Dr. James Talbot calling the policy concerning and confusing.
Kyle Warner said, `The fall immunization plan is being finalized, and details... will be available soon,` and Albertans who miss the Sept. 30 pre-order deadline can still book appointments once doses arrive.
