The new bivalent COVID-19 vaccine will be available in Alberta next week.

The province says adult Albertans can make appointments for the Moderna Spikevax booster starting on Wednesday, September 21, 2022.

The bivalent vaccine protects against the Omicron BA.1 variant and the original COVID-19 strain.

People who received a series of shots and are at least five months from their last dose, booster, or most recent infection are eligible.

The new vaccine is expected to be available for Albertans aged 12 to 17 later this month or in early October.
