Alberta speeding up second-dose appointments

Alberta’s vaccine rollout continues to reach new milestones, with more than 2.8 million doses administered to date and 63.4 per cent of Albertans aged 12-plus having received at least one dose.

Albertans will be able to schedule second-dose appointments in the order they received their first doses.

• Anyone vaccinated in March or earlier can book their second dose starting June 1.
• Anyone vaccinated in April can book their second dose starting June 14.
• Anyone vaccinated in May can book their second dose starting June 28.

A single dose of COVID-19 vaccine offers at least 80 per cent protection against severe outcomes, including hospitalization and death. However, second doses are needed to get the best and most long-lasting protection against the virus.
