Alberta has safely administered more than eight million doses of COVID-19 vaccine. We know that COVID-19 vaccine is safe and offers a way to protect yourself, your friends, loved ones, family and children from COVID-19.
As we continue to roll out vaccine to as many Albertans as possible, we want to help ensure parents are armed with accurate, credible information to allow them to make the best choice around COVID-19 immunization.
We encourage all parents to talk to their pediatrician or family physician about getting their children immunized.
