Feb 24, 2021 - COVID-19 Vaccination for those 75+ years old (born 1946 or earlier):
Appointments can be booked online or through Health Link 811
Starting today, Albertans who are over 75 can use the AHS online booking tool to schedule an appointment to be vaccinated with options for a time, date, as well as a window to book the second dose within the recommended 32 to 42 days.
Those over 75 may also call Health Link at 811 to book an appointment through a Health Link nurse. Appointments can be booked for both the first and second doses.
Seniors must return to the same clinic to receive their second dose of the vaccine to ensure appropriate timing between doses and to help manage vaccine supply.
Family members can book on behalf of those over 75 who are eligible to receive the vaccine. They will need the Alberta Health Care number and date of birth of the person being vaccinated and can make the appointment from a desktop computer or hand held device.
