Alberta Covid-19 Vaccination Program Triggers Confusion, Criticism

Alberta's paid COVID-19 vaccine program exempts vulnerable groups but raises concerns about accessibility and healthcare strain, with 485,000 doses ordered for the fall, officials said.

  • On Tuesday, the Alberta government launched online pre-ordering for COVID-19 vaccines, prompting criticism from health experts and unions.
  • 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.
