I would like to update you on the change to focus AstraZeneca on second doses. We have now administered 255K+ first doses in Alberta. However, based on global supply challenges, we do not know when we will get additional supply. (1/6)
That’s why we are making the prudent move – saving the remaining 8,000 doses for those who have a contraindication to an mRNA vaccine, or for second doses. (2/6)
We are now receiving more than 236,000 doses of Pfizer and Moderna a week. It makes sense to focus our new bookings on vaccines that are arriving in large numbers. (3/6)

For the previous week, the R value for AB was 1.12, incl 0.99 in #YEG Zone, 1.16 in #YYC Zone, & 1.18 for the rest of AB. There are active alerts/outbreaks in 808 schools, which represents 33% of the schools across AB. Above 1 means growth. (2/9)
We have added the Town of Okotoks and Rocky View County to the hot spots list. Both of them have met the threshold and so the additional restrictions now apply. alberta.ca/enhanced-publi… (3/9)

We’re making a small update to how youth born in 2006-09 (turning 12-15) with eligible underlying health conditions in Phase 2B can book appointments for the #COVID19AB vaccine. (1/6)
As you know, these youth are eligible because their health problems put them at greater risk of severe outcomes from this virus. (2/6)
Previously, we required a doctor’s letter for those 12-15 before booking an appointment. Starting today, a letter is not required. This change is made based on feedback from parents, family doctors, and pediatricians. (3/6)

I must report St. Albert has reached the threshold for additional targeted restrictions - 350 cases/100K & 250 active cases. I encourage Albertans in hot spot regions to learn about & follow these new measures to help drive community cases down. alberta.ca/enhanced-publi… (3/5)

Here is a summary of today’s #COVID19AB update: I provided this update from home as I was tested for COVID yesterday. It was negative, but as I’m still under the weather I’m staying home to be safe. It’s an inconvenience but an important part of how we all help stop spread. (1/6)
