I don't think they're offering the seasonal vaccine at Alberta vaccination clinics (when they were it was free, and they may have it again after Christmas). However, it has been provided to pharmacies and doctor's offices, and you can get it there for a nominal fee (I got mine at a Safeway pharmacy). Unfortunately it's only the adult version that's available at pharmacies, so kids (who are probably the group that needs the vaccine most) can't get it right now as far as I can tell.
