Third dose for immunocompromised

While 2 doses provide excellent protection for most people, third doses will be available for eligible groups at highest risk of severe outcomes:
  • immunocompromised Albertans ages 12 and older
  • residents of seniors’ supportive living facilities

Immunocompromised
  • Consult your health care providers first to discuss your personal risks and benefits.
    • Eligible immunocompromised conditions include:
    • transplant recipients, including solid organ and hematopoietic stem cell transplants
    • chronic kidney disease receiving regular dialysis
    • receiving active cancer treatment (chemotherapy, immunotherapy or targeted therapies), excluding those receiving only hormonal therapy, radiation therapy or surgery
    • taking certain medications for autoimmune diseases including rituximab, ocrelizumab and ofatumumab
  • When to book: Must wait at least 8 weeks after second dose.
  • How to book: Book immediately by calling 811 or through participating pharmacies or physicians’ offices. Book online beginning September 1.

Residents of seniors’ supportive living
  • Alberta Health Services will coordinate additional COVID-19 doses for residents of seniors’ supportive living with other immunization partners as needed at least 5 months after their second dose.
  • Eligible residents of supportive living facilities will receive their third doses at their facilities.


Additional doses for travellers
  • Travellers to jurisdictions that don't recognize Covishield/AstraZeneca or mixed series doses can get additional dose(s) of vaccine.
  • When to book: Must wait at least 4 weeks after second dose.
  • How to book: Book immediately by calling 811 or through participating pharmacies or physicians’ offices. Book online beginning September 1.
