AHS is working extremely hard to book ABs age 75+ as fast as possible. I know there have been challenges & that it can be frustrating to wait. Thank you for your patience today & as the rollout continues. 25K+ have already booked & many more will come in the days ahead. (3/4)
Protecting our most vulnerable will save lives and reduce stress on our health system. In the meantime, we all must continue acting as the vaccine for each other by making safe choices and following all public health restrictions in place. (4/4)

Every part of AB/sector of society is touched by COVID-19. We must be compassionate w/ those exposed or who test +. Stigma & blame risk driving cases/spread underground & discouraging ppl from getting tested. We all have a role in supporting each other & reducing spread. (3/9)
