A paramedic and board member of the Health Science Association of Alberta (HSAA) says currently only some members of trauma teams at hospitals across the province have had the opportunity to get a COVID vaccination. Jason Soklofske, paramedic and a board member of the HSAA, says when a patient is brought into the emergency department a trauma team is often assembled to provide medical care. The paramedic and physician on the team have already had the opportunity to get a COVID vaccination. The laboratory worker, X-Ray and CT technicians working alongside the team with the patient have still not been given a chance for the vaccine.
