Opposition calls for COVID-19 vaccine clinics in Alberta schools this fall

Posted: Jul 19, 2021 5:44 PM MT | Last Updated: July 19 NDP Leader Rachel Notley is calling on the province to get vaccine clinics into Alberta schools this fall. (Alberta NDP ) The Alberta NDP wants COVID-19 immunization clinics in schools when classes resume this fall to ensure more students get their second dose of vaccine as soon as possible.  According to statistics published by Alberta Health, 63 per cent of Albertans between 12 and 19 have received their first dose of vaccine, but only 38.5 per cent have received their second shot.  NDP Opposition Leader Rachel Notley says those numbers need to improve, especially now that the more highly contagious delta variant is in the province. She says Alberta s full reopening on July 1 may give many the false impression that a single dose is all that is required to stay safe.
