Just saw this one... GOA slipped the announcement in this past Thursday:
'Free COVID-19 boosters available April 7 to eligible Alberta residents'
RantingCanuckI notice that they have added an age restriction to the eligible underlying conditions... people who where eligible for the 2025 fall vaccine due to an underlying condition are now ineligible unless they are between 65 and 79
@RantingCanuck
Yup... I can get it, for sure... I'll talk to my pharmacist for hubs as he lives with me. I'm sure AB UCP doesn't want us to take advantage. Last fall, I had to schedule an appointment with the Health Unit in town. Seems they might have loosened those restrictions.

And, things may change for all ages with underlying conditions... I hope.

J.L. 1285@McRocker “Eligible” ruins that whole news statement. Preventative healthcare shouldn’t have those restrictions.
@CAWguy You're not wrong...

@McRocker
It’s a pretty small list of who’s eligible. 🫤
People eligible for free vaccine include:
adults aged 80 and older;
residents of long-term care homes and other congregate living settings for seniors;
people aged six months and older who are moderately to severely immunocompromised due to an underlying condition or treatment; and
adults 65 to 79 years of age with underlying medical conditions that place them at higher risk of severe COVID-19.
@crispius
For sure... I'm in the age group with underlying medical condition... still on breast cancer meds ... so, hubs should get one, too... my pharmacist is the best...

ScribblersEmporiumIs this the newest vaccine, or are the UCP getting of old stock from the fall?
@ScribblersEmporium
I'll ask... wouldn't surprise me if UCP was getting the post best-before-dates... trying to get rid of old stocks...
