Kenney says Alberta aims to offer COVID-19 vaccines to public by summer

Jan 13, 2021 | 12:58 PM

Alberta Premier Jason Kenney says the province hopes to start rolling out COVID-19 vaccines to the general public as early as this summer.

He made the comments during a Facebook Live broadcast Tuesday evening.

“Based on our current projections of vaccine supply, we should be able to open it up to the general population in the summer around June,” said Kenney. “But it all depends on the supply that we get from the federal government.”

A timeline on the Alberta Health Services website has a fall rollout for the general public, but the agency notes that is subject to change based on supply.

Alberta’s goal is to administer 50,000 doses of the vaccine per week by the end of January and stretch that to 200,000 doses per week by the end of March.
