Influenza immunization is the best way to protect yourself and the people around you against influenza. It’s recommended that all Albertans age 6 months and older get the influenza vaccine every year.
Influenza immunization is free. Immunization will be available starting on October 16, 2023 with appointment booking opening on October 10.
It’s safe to receive both the COVID-19 and influenza vaccine at the same time. The COVID-19 and influenza vaccines are administered as separate doses, but you may choose to receive both immunizations at the same appointment.
COVID-19 vaccines are the best way to protect you from getting severely sick from COVID-19 infection. Everyone 6 months and older can get COVID-19 vaccine.
Pneumococcal immunization is also available for some individuals based on age and medical conditions. It may be offered at the same time as influenza immunization. It protects against pneumococcal disease.
