In a week, COVID-19 restrictions will start to ease in Alberta, but one scientist believes Alberta should continue with the restrictions in hopes of bringing the cases down to COVID-zero.
CALGARY Alberta is rescheduling some second-dose appointments of COVID-19 vaccinations due to shortages in vaccine. It comes one day after the province stopped all first-dose appointments due to Pfizer supply chain modifications which will delay the arrival of more vaccine from that supplier. “We’re working very hard to adjust all of our planning,” said Dr. Deena Hinshaw Alberta’s Chief Medical Officer of Health. The province did receive a shipment of Pfizer vaccine Tuesday but those doses are expected to dwindle to zero within a week. More than 92,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccine have been administered in Alberta so far, which has used up more than 91 per cent of the vaccine the province has received.
