To ensure the AHS online booking tool is prepared for the next wave of eligible Albertans, the tool will be unavailable from 7 a.m. – 8 a.m. April 17, 2021. You can still access the tool, but you will be placed in the queue until the tool is back online. Booking a COVID-19 immunization appointment through Health Link will also be affected.
We understand the process of booking a COVID-19 immunization appointment may be confusing and stressful for some and sometimes this leads to high emotions. Please know all our teams are doing their best to book as many Albertans in to get immunized as quickly as possible.
If you are unable to find an appointment, additional appointments will open up over the following days and weeks as supply allows. Regular updates will be made to our website and we encourage everyone who would like to book an appointment to continue checking to see if appointments are available.
Please be patient. Abusive behaviour will not be tolerated.

Note: There are currently high call volumes to 811. We recommend booking through the online booking tool or participating pharmacies when possible.

Starting March 29, AHS will begin providing COVID-19 immunization to homebound Albertans, as vaccine supply allows. Homebound is defined as anyone who is physically unable to leave their home, such as for medical or personal appointments. AHS will reach out to eligible Home Care clients directly in the coming weeks. You do not need to book an appointment.
Residents living in a care home, lodge or other congregate care facility, regardless of age, will be contacted directly by their care team and do not need to book their own appointment. This only applies to complexes where residents have communal dining and do not have their own apartments / homes and condos.

Note: We anticipate high demand for appointments and we ask everyone to be patient. We know many Albertans are anxious to get immunized. We are immunizing Albertans as quickly as we can, based on vaccine supply.
