Health Minister LaGrange said \u0022we\u0027ll get it out as soon as possible,\u0022 although she didn\u0027t offer a specific timeline.
Dawn Bowdish, Canada Research Chair in Aging and Immunity, a professor at McMaster University and a Canadian Institutes for Health Research-funded researcher on infections and immunity in older adults, told Postmedia all Canadians need to know vaccine timelines as soon as possible.
“I think it won’t be as bad as last year, there may not be as many infections, but I worry our health-care system is going to be extremely strained nonetheless,” she said. The aim in other provinces has been to roll out COVID-19 vaccines at the same time as the influenza shot so more people take advantage of both.On Wednesday, LaGrange and Premier Danielle Smith declined to say if they planned to get a COVID shot this fall.
“The community needs to get vaccinated,” she said, noting young people with more social contacts are those most likely to get infected and are the ones who often spread infections to vulnerable people.Article content “Alberta’s government is revising how we present data to Albertans in order to more accurately depict the current situation. We are working to expand the data and dashboard to include other respiratory diseases such as RSV and influenza,” said Taillon, who did not provide any specific timelines.Article content
