This is infuriating and perverse. From the Globe and Mail:
Alberta directed removal of COVID, flu references in fall vaccine campaign, documents show
"The Alberta government directed the provincial health authority to remove the words “influenza” and “COVID” from advertisements for the province’s fall immunization campaign, and to wait before communicating with the public, as officials worked to launch the annual program amid warnings that cases of respiratory illnesses were rising, internal government documents show."
They also removed information about vaccine benefits. We wonder why the fall vaccine rate was only 22%.
