Doctors, nurses could be left out of Alberta COVID and flu vaccination campaign

As of this week, some Calgary pharmacies have received deliveries of COVID-19 and flu vaccines but doctors and nurse practitioners could be left out

Albertans looking to get a COVID-19 shot, a flu shot or both this fall will only be able to do so at pharmacies or Alberta Health Services public health clinics.

Family doctors and nurse practitioners were told in a recent memo shared by Alberta Health that they will not receive deliveries for the vaccines in time for the fall immunization program and that it’s uncertain if they would receive them at all.
