More vaccination opportunities are being given to young Albertans.
Alberta Health Services (AHS) will temporarily open walk-in appointment times for the COVID-19 vaccine in the Edmonton Zone, for children aged five to 11.
The goal is to provide additional opportunities for families who wish to vaccinate their children.
Starting Wednesday (Mar.2) until Mar.16, several local AHS vaccination clinics will stay open weekday evenings until 8 p.m., on Saturdays until 6 p.m. and until 4:30 p.m. on Sundays.
Redwater Public Health and Strathcona Community Health Centre are both participating. A full list of locations can be found here.
Both parents and children age two and older will be required to wear a face mask and use hand sanitizer when visiting the site.
