Expanded booster doses help protect young Albertans

Young Albertans with immunocompromising conditions and underlying health conditions can book COVID-19 vaccine booster doses on February 15.

Youth between the ages of 12 and 17 with underlying health conditions and all First Nations, Métis and Inuit youth in this age group will be eligible to book a booster (third) dose.

In addition, youth aged 12 to 17 with immunocompromising conditions will be eligible to book a booster (fourth) dose.

All children aged five to 11 who have specific immunocompromising conditions will also be eligible to book a third dose as part of their primary series. These changes follow recommendations from both the National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) and the Alberta Advisory Committee on Immunization (AACI).
