Alberta has announced it will be expanding the eligibility of fourth doses of the COVID-19 vaccine to more age groups.

Starting on April 12, all Albertans aged 70 and older along with First Nations, Métis and Inuit people in Alberta age 65 will be eligible to book a fourth dose appointment.

Appointments can be booked by visiting the AHS website or by calling 811.

The province also announced that it will receive 10,000 doses of the Novavax vaccine.

Nuvaxovid is a two-dose protein subunit vaccine that does not use mRNA technology and is approved for those 18 and older. Due to limited supply, appointments for this vaccine can be booked by calling 811 only.
