More Alberta physician clinics to offer COVID vaccines

May 28, 2021 | 11:03 AM

Another 60 physician clinics will soon begin vaccinating patients as Alberta’s vaccine rollout continues to expand.

In April, a total of 20 physician clinics across the province participated in a pilot project to administer COVID-19 vaccines to eligible patients. Based on the learnings from these initial clinics, 60 additional clinics throughout the province will join the vaccine rollout in the coming weeks.

More than 2.6 million doses of vaccine have now been administered in Alberta through Alberta Health Services (AHS), participating pharmacies and physician clinics.

Since the spring, Alberta Health, the Alberta Medical Association and Primary Care Network (PCN) physician leaders have been working together to incorporate community physicians into the provincial vaccine rollout as supply increases.

Each participating clinic will contact their patients who are eligible for vaccination. Participating clinics will offer the Moderna vaccine at this time, with about 8,200 doses expected to be administered by family physicians, staff and teams.
