~UPDATE January 17, 2014~

From the Alberta Health Services website:

Vaccine Supply Updates

Vaccine is no longer available: Calgary Zone, Central Zone, Edmonton Zone, North Zone, South Zone

Second Dosage for Children Under the Age of Nine:

Some doses of vaccine have been reserved for children who received first dose of influenza vaccine this season, and still require second dose of the vaccine. Children under the age of nine who received seasonal influenza vaccine for the first time this season require two doses this season to be fully protected.

Please call Health Link Alberta 1-866-408-5465, or your local Public Health Office, if you require a second dose for your child.

~UPDATE January 7, 2014~

Most pharmacies are experiencing a shortage of influenza immunizations this week. Please call ahead to see if your pharmacy is able to administer the influenza immunization. 

When you make influenza immunization (also referred to as a flu shot or FluMist) an annual event, you protect yourself, your family, and our communities from infection & illness.

Influenza immunization is free of charge to all Albertans six months of age and older, through dedicated Influenza Immunization Clinics across the province. Please note, pharmacies are not able to administer vaccinations to children under 9 years of age.

Please see this updated list of immunization clinics held at your local Health Centre. As the influenza immunization is in very short supply, many of the Health Centres are accepting patients by appointment only. Many Health Centres are booking weeks in advance so please call early. Alternatively, you can call your family doctor and ask if they are providing influenza immunizations.
