COVID-19 vaccinations in Alberta have officially begun and, as lineups form in the coming days, Premier Jason Kenney says he won’t tolerate queue jumping.
“At our very first cabinet discussion on this I said, ‘We must build an absolute wall around the vaccination program to ensure there’s no political pressure of any kind on who gets vaccinated when,’ ” Mr. Kenney said Tuesday, moments after two health care workers became the first Albertans to receive the vaccine.
