Interactive map breaks down Alberta vaccine coverage

May 17, 2021 | 8:23 PM

Alberta is launching a new online map breaking down vaccine coverage by local geographic area.

Starting May 17, Albertans are able to view the following information for their communities by age group:

  • percentage of individuals who have received at least one dose
  • percentage of individuals fully immunized
  • total number of doses that have been administered

“This map is a helpful tool for Albertans, and reflects our government’s commitment to transparency,” said Premier Jason Kenney. “Since the start of this pandemic, Alberta has consistently provided more online information to Albertans than any other jurisdiction because we know that being informed helps us all to be part of the solution.”

Data posted to the site excludes aggregate doses reported by First Nations Inuit and Health Branch, Indigenous Services Canada.

Alberta is currently the only province that openly reports metrics such as regional R values, comorbidities and cases among health-care workers.

Complete information on active cases, and current and historical case rates specific to different geographic areas, is also available at alberta.ca/stats/covid-19-alberta-statistics.htm.

Vaccine uptake information will be available as an interactive map or in list format.

Alberta has delivered more than 2.2 million doses of vaccine. For vaccine eligibility and booking details, visit alberta.ca/vaccine.
